The Cardinals blocked two Solon field goal attempts and got a 73-yard kickoff return for a touchdown from senior defensive back
Marc Walton. On the other side, Toledo-committed quarterback
Mitchell Guadagni has over 2,100 combined passing and rushing yards with 25 touchdowns to help Hudson attain its second-consecutive 8-0 start.
