I am a little surprised at how Avon Lake folded so drastically last week at AW. That long drive to Toledo to a non friendly location can be very intimidating i guess....but 59 points is a big spanking....

Avon Lake was down this year and they got hit with a lot of key injuries too. It all added up to a very bad year by their standards.

Anthony Wayne is a very good team and they are peaking now. If you remember those really good Perrysburg teams from years ago in the region, the AW head coach was the defensive coordinator of those teams.

Avon winning the region was pretty much known since July. Just like Ed's winning R1 and Hoban R5, and Massillon R7, etc... I could name more, but you get the idea.

Agreed. Kirtland, MSML, Coldwater, Privates dominating the public’s once it gets to the Sweet Sixteen level, etc…

Only suspense in these playoffs is the 16-team seeding at the end of The regular season. Pretty much the same script every year.

There’s talent in every community. Avon and Highland win every year because they have Programs (parent engagement, community participation, dedicated/disciplined kids and coaching).

Add youth program development, too

No upset special. Highland was tied at the half, but pulled away for a solid win. Falls outlasted Southview, while Avon and Anthony Wayne rolled. We are already on to the regional semifinals. Winners in bold:

5. Olmsted Falls (9-3) vs 1. Avon (12-0) -- The Eagles rolled in the regular season meeting. The playoffs should make it a closer game, but Avon moves ahead to the regional final.

3. Highland (10-2) vs 2. Anthony Wayne (10-2) -- This one should be worth the price of admission! A slugfest. Should be close all the way. The Generals outlast the Hornets.

Any predictions on the sites? North Ridgeville for Avon vs Olmsted Falls. Huron for Anthony Wayne vs Highland.

Highland keeps rolling with a solid 31-10 win over Anthony Wayne. Avon advances with a tight 33-23 win over their always tough conference rival Olmsted Falls. We are now at the regional final!

3. Highland (11-2) vs 1. Avon (13-0) -- This one is going to depend a lot on the status of the Avon QB for the game. He was first team all-district and is a dual threat. The back up is not a runner and is obviously not as experienced. Falls is very familiar with Avon. Highland is not. Avon wins a close game without Nolan Good at QB, and wins by two scores with him.

It stinks Avon had to face some adversity for the first time this season but hopefully this is something to build on going into next week with Nolan Good or not.

Not the first time. They played the first playoff game entirely without Good.

Well yeah the first half against SJJ was close. This one here Avon trailed at the half with only 3 on the board. Either way hopefully the Eagles can pull one out next week.

Do we smell fear in that last sentence?
