Chardon replaced 8 starters on defense and 9 on offense. Averaging 39 points a game and giving up 6.8 with a couple scores coming against the JV defense in running clock situations - have played five teams that will be hosting playoff games this week and a couple more playoff teams that got in under the new expansion format. St. Ed's and Marysville are the only teams in the state to accumulate more Harbin points. Not sure anyone would have predicted this. Have played 2 bad halves of football on offense (2nd half of New Philly and 2nd half of Ursuline - 3 turnovers in each of those halves) and 1 bad half on defense against a powerful Ursuline offensive machine while protecting a big lead with the offense turning it over three times - tough to even call it a bad defensive half. 24-3 at home in the last five years. 58-7 at home since coach Hewitt took over in 2011. Last loss at home was in 2018 to Akron East in a first round playoff game. No one will be overlooking the Dragons. Anyone who wins this region will have had to have run a gauntlet, stayed healthy, and taken care of the football. Region 9 is not for the faint of heart.
