On Friday, Canton Central Catholic needed a bit of extra time to put away Salem. They came out on top in a nail-biter against the Quakers , sneaking past 24-21. The win was a breath of fresh air for the Crusaders as it put an end to their four-game losing streak dating back to last season.
Meanwhile, winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Alliance). Everything went their way against Ellet on Friday as Alliance made off with a 46-24 victory. The high-flying offensive performance was a huge turnaround for the Aviators considering their six-point performance the contest before.
Perhaps unsurprisingly given the score, Alliance was unstoppable on the ground and finished the game with 283 rushing yards. That's the most rushing yards they've managed all season.
Alliance's defense was in the mix too, especially the secondary: they snagged four passes before it was all said and done. Bo Davis led the group effort, picking up two of those interceptions all by himself.
Canton Central Catholic's first win this season bumped their record up to 1-3. As for Alliance, their victory (their first of the season) made their record 1-3.
