On Thursday Elyria Catholic will take on Normandy at 7:00 PM. Coming off of a win even when the odds were against them, Elyria Catholic have to be feeling especially confident with the MaxPreps state rankings on their side for this one.
Elyria Catholic might be getting used to good results now that the squad has three wins in a row. They took their matchup against Bay last Friday 28-21. Among those leading the charge for Elyria Catholic was senior Leighton Banjoff, who rushed for 244 yards and 3 touchdowns. In fact, with 14 tackles Banjoff was a force on both sides of the ball.
Meanwhile, it was all tied up at halftime, but Normandy weren't quite Rocky River's equal in the second half when they met. It was close but no cigar for Normandy as they fell 14-16 to Rocky River. Normandy's loss continues a disappointing trend for the team, making it three losses in a row.
Elyria Catholic's win lifted them to 6-2 while Normandy's defeat dropped them down to 3-5. The Elyria Catholic defense got after the quarterback against Bay to the tune of 4.5 sacks, so Normandy's offensive line better have put in some good practice this past week in preparation for the match.
