That’s a wrap on the regular season now that Week 10 has come and gone, for most Chagrin Valley Conference teams.
Here’s a look at how each CVC squad fared on Friday night:
Harvey 21, Berkshire 20
Chris Burt’s 70-yard run late in the fourth quarter gave the Red Raiders a lead they’d protect in the closing moments as Berkshire’s offense moved into Harvey territory. A fourth-down incompletion allowed Harvey to regain possession and run out the clock. Katory Henry-Shaw returned a kickoff 70 yards and Shahn Alston added a nine-yard touchdown run for the Red Raiders, who led 13-0 before Berkshire reeled off 20 unanswered points.
Miles Miller ran for a one-yard score and threw a 56-yard touchdown pass to Jack Hastings. Justin Phillips added a 15-yard TD run for the Badgers, who despite the loss, will play in Week 11.
Madison 27, Conneaut 18
Carson Alley completed 3-of-8 passes for 45 yards and ran for 104 yards on 18 carries with touchdown runs of two and 34 yards in Madison’s win. Dominic Lawrence threw a 42-yard touchdown pass to Knolan Albert.
Conneaut made a late run at the Blue Streaks with two touchdowns to close out the game.
West Geauga 40, Orange 0
West Geauga wasn’t playing for a playoff berth, but the Wolverines were filled with inspiration from whistle to whistle. Finn Keenan completed 6-of-8 passes for 120 with TD strikes to Andrew Marino and Matthew Osters and he added an eight-yard scoring run. John Julian, Nicky Mulica, and Quentin Artino also ran for touchdowns for the Wolverines.
Kirtland 38, Cardinal 0
The Hornets clinched the top seed in the Division VI, Region 21 playoffs with a dominating win at Cardinal. The Hornets scored 17 points in the first four minutes of the game on a 35-yard touchdown pass from Jake LaVerde to Will Sayle, a Macguire Boyd safety, and a 24-yard Will Beers touchdown run. Beers added a 46-yard touchdown run later in the game and Danny Alfieri and Rocco Alfieri also ran for scores. The Hornets held Cardinal’s offense to just 70 yards of offense.
Geneva 57, Jefferson 13
Geneva notched its ninth win of the season for the first time in over 23 years with a big win over Jefferson. The Eagles outgained the Falcons, 438-219, and scored 43 points before Jefferson found the endzone. Luke Smith carried 10 times for 101 yards and he scored twice. Bryce Peet and Ricky DiPetta each added two touchdown runs while Hayden Diemer and Jason Thrower, a lineman, each scored once.
Jefferson’s Jonathan Bissell and Kaige Boczar ran for touchdowns for the Falcons.
Wickliffe 59, Beachwood 7
Wickliffe did all its damage on the ground as the Blue Devils racked up 379 yards of offense, all via the run game. Beachwood was limited to just 66 yards of offense.
Chase Bonadio led the way for the Blue Devils as he ran for 96 yards on five carries and scored on a 44-yard run. E.J. Mester added 74 yards on four carries with a 37-yard TD run.
Beachwood’s Josh Rosenberg scored on a seven-yard run to avoid the shutout.
Crestwood 28, Grand Valley 27
Nate Blasiole’s six-yard TD run with 1:08 left in the game likely landed the Red Devils into the postseason as JoeEitel.com currently projects Crestwood as the No. 16 seed in Division V, Region 17.
The Red Devils and Mustangs traded punches throughout the game that included eight lead changes.
Charlie Sommer completed 7-of-12 passes for 137 yards and a touchdown. Blasiole ran for 81 yards on 22 carries with his game-clinching touchdown. Wyatt Januska threw a 43-yard touchdown pass to A.J. Januska.
Andrew Soltis led the Grand Valley rushing attack with 77 yards on 23 carries and he scored a touchdown.
