  I haven't been on here in a while but here it goes.
  
  We open the season with a new coaching staff. A new QB and a very talented Soph. RB returning. Should still have a solid team.
  
  Week 1- Home vs Walsh Jesuit
  Week 2- Away @ Huber Heights Wayne
  Week 3- OPEN
  Week 4- Home vs N.C. Hoover
  Week 5- Away @ Lake
  Week 6- Home vs Jackson
  Week 7- Away @ GlenOak
  Week 8- Home vs Perry
  Week 9- Away @ Boardman
  Week 10- Away- @ Massillon
  
  As the schedule stands right now we do not have a week 3 opponent but this can help or hurt us. A division 6 team might hurt our points as to not playing at all but you dont want to have an open week. The first two weeks are tough games and we are playing 4 Home games and 5 on the road which means this could be a long season depending on how the coach pulls the team together and whether we have a QB or not.

  The bulldogs survive week one vs Walsh Jesuit with a 34-28 victory in front of 8,000 at fawcett. Glover-williams had 284 yds rushing including the game winning 88 yd TD run. It was a sloppy start falling behind 14-0 but 27 unanswered helped. Walsh would take the lead into the 4th at 28-27... But the shifty Glover-Williams erased that on a QB misdirection and ran 88 yards to give the bulldogs the lead for good. Next week the bulldogs travel to dayton to take on HH Wayne on Saturday.

  Canton McKinley seems to have a theme for this high school football season... SURVIVE!.... McKinley squeeks by H.H.Wayne 17-14 with a game that started at 7pm and finished at about 1:13am. McKinley scored on a punt return for a TD in the first Quarter and after a fumbled hold on the PAT McK led 6-0.. Wayne answered with a 46 yd TD run by their QB and mad the PAT for a 7-6 game.. McKinley took the kickoff to the wayne 30 almost untouched.... converted a crucial 4 and 6 to set up firstdown deep in wayne teritory.. Then things go interesting.... There was lightning and by OHSAA rules play must be suspended 30 minutes from the last lightning seen... At this point the field started flooding on the track around it and the stadium and area even lost power for a second. but as the story on fridaynightohio.com said McKinley outlasted the storm and wayne to win. at 11:30pm play resumed.... Wayne took a 14-6 lead.. McKinley answered with a field goal to make it 14-9... Glover Williams finally found some daylight and scored and got the 2 pt conversion to make it 17-14... after three and thats the way it would end at 1:13 am...
