Amherst plays North Olmsted this week.

In our Medina County Match-Up the Brunswick Blue Devils picked up their second win in a row. Brunswick’s triple option offense kept Medina guessing where the ball would go and often they chose wrong. With 496 rushing yards the Blue Devils worked their way to a decisive victory in this Greater Cleveland Conference showdown. Brunswick is now 2-1 in conference play with a 2-4 overall record. For Medina their overall record drops to 3-3 with a 1-2 record in the league. Brunswick host last place Shaker Heights this week. Medina is on the road at Mentor.

Elyria Catholic falls from the top of the Great Lakes Conference with the loss. The Panthers are now tied for second place with Bay at 2-1. The Panthers will have the opportunity to create some separation between themselves and the Rockets when they travel to Bay this Friday night. That game can be heard right here on WEOL.com Stream 2 starting at 6:30pm.
