CLEVELAND, Ohio — Two conference championships could be dictated as the high school football regular season approaches its midway point on Friday night.
Avon (4-0), ranked No. 2 in the cleveland.com Top 25, plays host to No. 11 North Ridgeville (4-0) in a battle of Southwestern Conference heavyweights. Two counties over to the east, No. 3 Mentor (4-0) plays host to No. 17 Cleveland Heights (2-2) on Friday night for a game that could decide the Greater Cleveland Conference title.
While Avon seeks a ninth straight SWC crown, Mentor looks to avenge its 14-13 overtime loss last year to the Tigers, who went on to win their conference’s championship.
Meanwhile, No. 1 St. Edward (4-0) plays host to Massillon (3-1) in a meeting of defending OHSAA Division I and Division II state champions. That has not happened since 2017.
