Columbian is headed out to face Chardon after opening their season at home and giving their fans just what they were looking for. Columbian enjoyed a cozy 27-11 win over Ross on Friday. Given the Tornadoes' advantage in MaxPreps' Ohio football rankings (they are ranked 98th, while the Little Giants are ranked 249th), the result wasn't entirely unexpected.
Meanwhile, Chardon had to kick off their season on the road on Thursday, but they showed no ill effects. Everything went their way against Timber Creek as Chardon made off with a 29-7 victory.
Columbian won a matchup that couldn't have been any closer when the teams last played back in August of 2023, slipping by Chardon 50-49. The rematch might be a little tougher for Columbian since the team won't have the home-field advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
