Northeast Ohio high school football scores and live updates
Let the second half of the high school football season begin.
All eyes, or most of them, anyway, will be on the battle between No. 5 Walsh Jesuit and No. 1 Archbishop Hoban on Friday night.
The unbeaten Knights will travel to Cuyahoga Falls to meet the once-beaten Warriors for the third game between the two rivals in the past two seasons. Hoban won a double-overtime thriller in the regular season and defeated Walsh again in the Division II playoffs. The Warriors hope to finally conquer their rivals in a home game that will bring the hierarchy of Akron-area high school football into clearer focus.
