Matchup of 5-0 teams slated for CVC TV

CVC TV will be on site for the matchup between two 5-0 teams on Friday at Wickliffe as the undefeated Blue Devils host Kirtland.

Both the Hornets and the Blue Devils enter the game at 5-0, and the winner will gain a major boost in the Division VI, Region 21 playoff picture.

Kirtland, coached by Tiger LaVerde, has rolled through its schedule with dominant wins over the likes of Perry, Fairview, and Trinity. The Hornets, last year’s Division VI state runner-up, have built their reputation on physical football, depth, and balance, and they appear poised for another deep postseason run.

Wickliffe, under head coach Marce Porcello, has leaned on a stingy defense that has already produced multiple shutouts, including a 48-0 win over Oberlin and a 42-0 victory against Brooklyn. The Blue Devils have also shown they can grind out wins, as they did in a 21-7 triumph at Cuyahoga Heights.

Broadcast sponsorships are available. Interested businesses should contact Steve Hare for more information.
