The Barberton Magics's homestand will continue as they prepare to take on the Copley Indians at 7:00 p.m. on Thursday.

Last Thursday, Barberton was within striking distance but couldn't close the gap as they fell 26-21 to Revere. While the Magics didn't get the win, they did start the game off strong, beating the Minutemen 7-6 in the first quarter.

Meanwhile, winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Copley). They blew past Cuyahoga Falls, posting a 62-7 victory at home. Given the Indians' advantage in MaxPreps' Ohio football rankings (they are ranked 260th, while the Black Tigers are ranked 581st), the result on Friday wasn't entirely unexpected.

Barberton dropped their record down to 1-6 with the loss, which was their fourth straight at home. As for Copley, the win made it two in a row for them and bumps their season record up to 3-4.

Barberton didn't have too much breathing room in their matchup against Copley when the teams last played back in October of 2023, but they still walked away with a 51-47 victory. Does Barberton have another victory up their sleeve, or will Copley turn the tables on them? We'll have the answer soon enough.
