OHSAA State Playoffs. Division II, Region 5 Regional Semifinal (Round 3): Walsh Jesuit (10-2) at Cleveland Benedictine (8-2) on a neutral field TBD by OHSAA
Always look forward to this game as a Bengal. Benedictine won the regular season matchup at WJ 35-34 in 2OT.
Bengals also have defeated Walsh in each of the last 2 postseasons (2019 & 2020).
Bengals rebounded and played a good all around game to defeat Painesville Riverside 31-12 ending their season at a record of 7-5. Back from injury, CeeJay Yarboro looked great. His line was Yarboro was 17 of 24 passing for 242 yards, two touchdowns and zero interceptions. He also added a 3rd TD with his legs. Duane Jackson rushed 18 times for 151 yards and 1 TD, highlighted by a 89 yard run in the 4th Q to put the game away. Senior WR/DB, Brandon Boyd who torched Walsh in week one also had a great game, except for one play on a kick returner last night. He has to be one of the fastest players in the entire state.
Walsh romped Maple Heights in the first round of the playoffs and are led by QB, Matt Natale who passed for an efficient 214 yards last night. In that game, the Warriors fell behind Hudson 14-0 before ripping off 23 unanswered points to win 23-14. Wideout, Christian Ochei can stretch the field and had 70 yards receiving. WJ’s defense also played well holding Hudson to 91 yards of offense in the 2nd half.
I’m not sure if this is correct, but I heard some injuries to Walsh? Is their RB down and potentially someone else?
Very interested to see where this game is held. I could very much see the game being at Bedford Stadium.
This should be one of the better games in the state next Friday! Winner to the Regional Final with a shot to advance to States versus winner of Nordonia/Akron Hoban.
