Chagrin Falls Football 40, Painesville Harvey Red Raiders 21

The Tigers hoped to continue a winning streak as they traveled up to Painesville to take on the Red Raiders. The Tigers started off the scoring as senior Sean Cusack threw a 33-yard touchdown pass to junior wide receiver Cam Owen, capitalizing off of sophomore Xavier Perez’s fumble recovery.
Senior Mick Lawrence ran through the Raider defense for the entirety of the game en route to another multiple touchdown game. The offensive line, led by senior Ralph Barone, opened up holes for Lawrence leading to over 300 yards of total offense in the game.
“I felt really good that whole game, we needed guys to step up with [senior,Henry] Woofter out, and I felt like our whole o-line stepped up,” said Barone.
At halftime, the Tigers had sprinted out to a 26-0 lead thanks to a strong defensive stand before the half. Still, the Tigers didn’t let up in the second half.
Lawrence and sophomore Dawson Pierce each collected a second-half touchdown to put the Tiger scoring at a season high of 40 points.
The Red Raiders refused to give up, as junior Devon Holbert scored two garbage-time touchdowns to bring the game to the final score of 40-21.
The Tigers hope to continue their winning streak this Friday at home against West Geauga.
