BEREA, Ohio — From the opening drive to the final whistle, Glenville didn’t back down from St. Edward on Thursday night in their back-and-forth battle of defending OHSAA state football champions. A little more than a month earlier, that might not have been the case.
Three-time defending Division I state champ St. Edward dominated Glenville in a scrimmage a week before the start of the regular season. This time, with a matchup that counts in the record books, Glenville emerged at Baldwin Wallace’s Finnie Stadium in Berea with a 28-27 win that could define the Tarblooders’ season.
“Instead of Ed’s attacking us, we attacked them,” said junior running back C.J. Newell, who scored on the opening possession and finished with 203 yards from scrimmage.
His effort pushed the two-time defending Division IV state champions (4-2), who are ninth in this week’s cleveland.com Top 25 , as they held off No. 4 St.
Edward (3-3) with an Aaron Scales interception in the end zone to seal the victory. Final: Glenville 28, St. Edward 27 Aaron Scales comes up with the clinching interception with 1:08 left for @TarblooderFB .
