1 GAME PREVIEW Opening Drive Mentor and Euclid have been rivals for a long time over the existence of many years and different conferences, but this Week 4 clash on Sept. 15 may be as big as any the teams have played in quite a while. The Cardinals are 1-2 and have seven weeks to earn enough computer points to return to the postseason again. The Panthers are 2-1, but with a difficult GCC schedule ahead this is a critical contest for Coach Jeff Rotsky and company. Euclid s offense is an explosive unit keyed by senior quarterback Noah Mitchell, junior wide receiver Jovon Owens and senior running back De Quan Pruitt. The defense has big-play ability as well for the Panthers with athleticism and speed at several positions. GameDay 360 Mentor CARDINALS 1-2 Overall; 0-0 Greater Cleveland Conference Head Coach: Steve Trivisonno (20th season, 20th season overall) NOTE: Cardinals have slipped to 1-2 for first time since 2010 Euclid PANTHERS Overall; 0-0 Greater Cleveland Conference Head Coach: Jeff Rotsky (2nd season, 19th season overall) NOTE: Panthers looking for back-to-back playoff spots; 1st time since 2008 &2009 Euclid held Glenville in check in Week 1 and was also able to slow down South in Week 3. Mentor has only scored 14 points in the last eight quarters after a big Week 1 performance in a win over Massillon. The Cardinals are led offensively by junior QB Tadas Tatarunas and senior running back Isaiah Gullick. Both benefit from a solid offensive line. The up-tempo Mentor attack has Ryan Hagan, Logan Shea, Manning Trubisky and Steven Baird as impact players. Defensively, the line is stout with Mark Gordon and Noah Potter leading the way. Ryan Bischof and Michael Ballentine are among a handful of Mentor players that will be called on each play to slow down Mitchell and the Euclid offense. TRIV TALKING Mentor Cardinals Head Coach Steve Trivisonno talking about his team, St. Xavier and Euclid "I thought we actually played very well. We played very hard and without the turnovers we probably win the game, We did a lot of good things and that's the kind of effort we need to be a playoff team." "Euclid is a lot like last year. Speed, great athletes and a quarterback with a big arm that can really throw it." "We talked to the guys and told them we don't have a lot of room for error now in the conference. But, not a lot of teams play the schedule we do because we don't just want to get into the postseason we want to be prepared to make a run at the title." Covering the Cards Since 2009, former News-Herald high school sports reporter Bill Tilton has hosted a live weekly high school sports talk show featuring interviews with players and coaches, trivia contests and giveaways at Hooley House in Mentor on Monday nights.

Smith was an elusive runner with blazing speed. He was selected as a two-time winn of Mr. Football, Ohio's top award. After averaging 8.8 yards per carry as a junior (1988), Smith ran for 2,042 yards and 31 touchdowns his senior year (1989). He finished his career with 5,318 yards and 71 touchdowns. He led the Panthers to a 29-5 record, three conference titles and its first three playoff appearances. Four of his five high school losses came against St. Ignatius, including his final game as a Panther. Euclid lost the 1989 Regional Championship game to the Wildcats Smith continued his career at Ohio State, breaking Archie Griffin's freshman rushing record with 1,126 yards. Until 2013, he was the Minnesota Vikings' all-time leading rusher. Smith has won numerous awards from high school to the NFL - He was named an All-American as a Euclid senior, and won two national high school football player of the year awards. Smith was a two-time Pro Bowl player and holds the all-time NFL record for average yards per touchdown run at History: Cardinals & Panthers THE LAST 20 GAMES PLAYED IN THE SERIES (TRIVISONNO-ERA) Score (Mentor / Opp) 1997 Cardinal Stadium / Mentor L Sparky DiBiasio Stadium / Euclid L Cardinal Stadium / Mentor L-OT Sparky DiBiasio Stadium / Euclid W Cardinal Stadium / Mentor W Sparky DiBiasio Stadium / Euclid W Cardinal Stadium / Mentor W Sparky DiBiasio Stadium / Euclid W Cardinal Stadium / Mentor L Sparky DiBiasio Stadium / Euclid W Jerome T Osborne, Sr Stadium / Mentor L Sparky DiBiasio Stadium / Euclid W Jerome T Osborne, Sr Stadium / Mentor W Sparky DiBiasio Stadium / Euclid W Jerome T Osborne, Sr Stadium / Mentor W Sparky DiBiasio Stadium / Euclid W Jerome T Osborne, Sr Stadium / Mentor W Sparky DiBiasio Stadium / Euclid W Jerome T Osborne, Sr Stadium / Mentor W W/L Series Weekly Rewind CINCINNATI ST. XAVIER BOMBERS (1-2) MENTOR CARDINALS (1-2) September 15, Jerome T Osborne, Sr. Stadium, Mentor Mentor is an unfamiliar position at 1-2 after three weeks, but Cardinals coach Steve Trivisonno is anything but panicked Frustrated and disappointed with the outcome of the 20-7 loss to visiting St. Xavier on Sept, 9, perhaps, but the veteran coach was able to quickly see the bigger picture after Mentor lost a difficult game to an elite opponent. If we don t turn the ball over we might have been ina position for a blowout win, Trivisonno said. Our guys played their tails off. They played hard, they battled and they will be prepared for later in the year (playoffs). Not a lot of teams play the schedule we play. These games aren t for now, they are for later or what is the point? The Mentor defense - which had fourth-down stands on four occasions - dominated the first quarter as the Bombers mustered 19 yards on 12 plays. The Cardinals forced four three-and-outs to begin the game, as St. Xavier didn t convert a first down until nearly 16 minutes elapsed. Meanwhile, the Cardinals went up 7-0 as junior QB Tadas Tatarunas 16-yard touchdown pass to Ryan Hagan capped a 10- play, 61-yard drive with 8:56 left in the second quarter. St. Xavier countered to sustain a drive for the first time and scored on a Chase Wolf to Nicholas Moeller 9-yard TD hookup tying the game at 7. Turnovers derailed scoring chances in the first half for Mentor as a botched snap at the St. Xavier 6-yard line ended a Mentor drive in the first quarter and a fumble at the Bombers 25-yard line occurred as the Cardinals were about to break into the red zone on their ensuing drive after the touchdown. After Wolf ran for a touchdown to put the Bombers up 14-7 seven minutes into the third quarter, Tatarunas was intercepted twice. The second pick came on the last play of the game, which Colton Paul returned 87 yards for a score after time expired for the final margin of victory, but a meaningless score in relevance to the game. Mentor was hindered by penalties, two of which cut down drives in the fourth quarter including a holding call that negated a big reception that would have put the Cardinals in position to tie or win the game with less than 1 minute to play. Tatarunas finished with 187 yards on 17 of 35 passing, while Isaiah Gullick ran for 125 yards on 26 carries to rebound after St. Ignatius held him below 30 yards in a Week 2 loss. Trivisonno was pleased with his defense all game, which yielded 260 yards on 57 plays. Wolf, playing in his second varsity game, threw for 170 yards and led the Bombers with 79 rushing yards. "Our defense was tremendous tonight," Trivisonno said. "We are a pretty good football team. These are really good teams we are playing and we are going to get better."

With four regions, Division I moves back into the same format as Divisions II through VII, with a greater emphasis on the regional championship games and decreased travel. The proposal, which came jointly from the OHSAA staff and the Ohio High School Football Coaches Association, does not change the number of Division I qualifiers (32, same as other divisions), but will have its tournament field comprised of eight qualifiers coming from each of four regions, rather than 16 teams from two regions, as has been done beginning in 2013 when the OHSAA expanded the football playoffs to seven Divisions and reduced the number of schools in Division I to only the largest 72 schools in Ohio. For the last three years, the regional finals in Division I were the fourth round, which also served as the state semifinals. Each of the four regions in Division I in 2016 will contain 18 schools and will qualify the top eight to the playoffs. Region 1 will include: MENTOR, Austintown Fitch, Berea-Midpark, Canton McKinley, Canton GlenOak, Cleveland John Marshall, Cleveland Rhodes, Cleveland Heights, Cuyahoga Falls, Euclid, Lakewood, Massillon Jackson, North Canton Hoover, St. Edward, St. Ignatiius, Shaker Heights, Solon, Stow. Of note, only 22 of Ohio s 88 counties currently have a Division I football school (Mentor is Lake County's only Divisiion I team), thus Division I will have three split counties (Cuyahoga, Franklin and Montgomery) in order to equally place 18 teams into each region.

4 Jerome T Osborne, Sr Stadium - The JTO CARDINALS 18-GAME HOME WINNING STREAK SNAPPED ON SEPTEMBER Quick Facts MENTOR HIGH SCHOOL Mentor feels at home at Jerome T. Osborne Sr. Stadium as much as any team feels at home in the entire state of Ohio, having only lost five times in ten years since 2006 and going undefeated at home in the playoffs over that period. This fall will be the 11th year since the full renovation of the Cardinals home stadium, and the third on the new turf installed prior to the 2014 campaign. The back wall under the press box includes a ring of honor that highlights some of the greatest coaches, players and teams that have ever graced the home field at Mentor, including several NFL players and two Mr. Football winners in Ohio - Bart Tanski (2007) and Mitch Trubisky (2012). The field turf installed at the JTO prior to the 2014 season feature red end zones, silver sideline boxes and a 20-yard wide Cardinal emblem at midfield that stretches from 40-yard line to the other 40. Mentor is an awe-sticking 56-5 on the turf from , including a perfect 8-0 record in Division I first-round playoff games at the JTO. Cardinals athletic director Jeff Cassella points out the turfed field is utilized by more than just the varsity football team. The junior varsity and freshmen football teams call the surface home, but so does soccer, lacrosse and other programs in the school such as the baseball and softball teams, who practiced on the JTO surface when their playing fields were too wet. Additionally, the Mentor youth football games are played at the JTO. The 8,000-seat facility is one of the finest in Northeast Ohio and has been home to several playoff games over the past few seasons. Lake Catholic also plays its home games at the JTO.

5 Cardinals News, Notes, & Headlines Superhero Jacob BIG PLAY OFFENSE The Mentor Caridnals had two big touchdown plays in the week 1 (Aug. 26) win over the visiting Massillon Washington Tigers. Senior RB Isaiah Gullick had a 78-yard touchdown run in the first quarter against the Tigers. The 78-yard touchdown run is the longest touchdown run for a Cardinal in nearly four seasons. On Sept. 21, 2012, Conner Krizancic sprinted 86y yards for a touchdown against the Parma Redmen. Believe it or not, the passing game outdid Gullick's touchdown run. Junior WR Logan Shea completed a 90-yard touchdown pass to senior WR Ryan Hagan late in the second quarter. That is the longest touchdown pass for the Cardinals since Conner Krizancic connected with Brandon Fritts on a 91-yard touchdown pass against the Brunswick Blue Devils on October 18, Current junior QB Tadas Tatarunas had an 81-yard TD pass to Jason Blizzard on October 30th last season at Ely Stadium against the Pioneers. STREAK COMES TO AN END The Mentor Cardinals had won 18 in a row at home between October 4, 2013 and August 26, The streak reached 18 victories with a win over the Massillon Washington Tigers on Aug. 26. The streak ended on Sept. 9 with a loss to St. Xavier. Since the renovations were completed at the stadium, and the complex renamed in honor of Jerome T Osborne, Sr, the Cardinals are an eye-popping 56-5 at home - - or a 94% winning percentage MENTOR CARDINALS CAPTAINS The Mentor Cardinals will have five captains for the 2016 season * Senior DB Michael Ballentine * Senior WR Shane McClure * Senior DL Caleb Rykaczewski * Senior LB Ryan Bischof * Senior DL Mark Gordon OFFENSE LOOKING TO FIND RHYTHM The Mentor offense is searching for the right answers to put points on the board. Scoring in the last two games has been at a premium. It also is at a pace not seen since With only 7 points in a week 2 loss to the Wildcats and 7 points at home last week in a week 3 loss to the St Xavier Bombers, Mentor is struggling offensively for the first time in eight seasons was the last time the Cardinals had back-to-back week in which they scored less than 10 points. Also, the 71 points scored through the first three weeks of the 2016 season are the fewest points put on the board by the Cardinals since the opening of the 2009 season, when the teams scored just 62 points and started 1-2 as well. MAKING HISTORY AGAINST THE TIGERS On Aug. 26, the Mentor Cardinals posted 57 points against the Massillon Washington Tigers, in a week 1 victory. The 57 points are the fourth-most points ever surrendered by a Massillon team, dating back to the first year of football at Washington High School in In 2007, the Mentor Cardinals scored 56 points against the Massillon Tigers (W,56-52). The 56 point scored by the Cardinals is now fifth-most points ever scored by an opponent against the Tigers. Most Points Scored by an Opponent vs Massillon T Dayton Steele T Steubenville Barberton MENTOR CARDINALS T MENTOR CARDINALS T Akron St. Vincent-St Mary In 126 years of football at Massillon, only 22 times has an opponet scored more than 40 points in a game. Mentor is the only school to score 50 or more twice on the Tigers and the Cardinals, along with St. Ignatius (week 2 opponent), are the only two teams from Northeast Ohio to score more than 40 points in a game against Massillon Minds weren t 100 percent on football at Jerome T. Osborne Stadium on Aug. 26, and that was perfectly all right. Students dressed as superheroes and cheerleaders donned shirts that read Superhero Jacob in honor of Jacob Goss, and elementary school student in Mentor who recently died of cancer. A message was delivered over the loud speaker prior to the Mentor-Massillon game, and a moment of silence was observed in honor of Jacob. He was a big fan of super heroes, so that s where the Superhero Jacob came from tonight, Mentor athletic director Jeff Cassella told the News-Herald. I think he was an inspiration to our kids and the fight battle he went through. Our kids saw that and understood that. Our kids and community wanted to honor him and the struggle he went through. Coach Steve Trivisonno said he was proud of the students, his players and the entire community for the support they showed the Goss family. "We talked to our guys about it and they understand how lucky we all are to be able to do the things we do in school and in sports and in life," Trivisonno said. "Life isn't fair. A kid shouldn't have to go through that and a family should never have to lose a child that young. Hopefully one day this horrible disease will be cured."

6 Cardinals News, Notes, & Headlines Polls & Rankings FINDING THE ENDZONE OVERTIME GAMES FOR THE CARDINALS NEWS HERALD TOP OF THE CROP - SEPT 13 The Mentor Cardinals have now scored at least one touchdown in 90 consecutive games dating back to the first week of the 2009 season (Aug 28, 2009 a win against the St Edward Eagles). The last time the Cardinals did not find the endzone was in the 2008 OHSAA regional semifinal game against the Strongsville Mustangs; a 17-3 loss at Byers Field. Dating back to 2005, the Cardinals have scored at least one touchdown in 140 of the last 142 games A high-powered offense and a stingy defense can certainly be a receipe for success, and the Mentor Cardinals are no exception Since the start of the 1997 season, the Cardinals are an eyepopping 75-1 when the team scores 40 or more points in a game. (The only loss came in the 2013 state championship game, a loss to Cincinnati Archbishop Moeller. Even when the 20 point mark is reached by Mentor, the Cardinals are (0.858) over the last 20 seasons. On the other side the of the ball, the Cardinals defense is just as impressive. When the Cardinals hold an opponent to single digits, Mentor is 69-0 under head coach Steve Trivisonno. When holding opponents under 20 points, the team is (0.953) since OHSAA RULE CHANGES FOR 2016 SEASON The free blocking zone is no longer free for Ohio high school football players. The OHSAA announced a football rule change earlier this year, altering the way officials call clipping for the 2016 season. Officials can flag clipping in any situation, regardless of where it occurs on the field. Prior to this season, clipping was allowed in the free blocking zone that covered three yards beyond the line of scrimmage in both directions and four yards on either side of the snap. The penalty for clipping remains 15 yards. The elimination of clipping from high school football is the latest attempt to reduce the risk of injury made by the sport at that level. PUBLIC vs PRIVATE DEBATE PLAYOFF GAMES MOVING TO FRIDAY NIGHTS MENTOR CARDINALS REDLINE CLUB QUEEN OF HEARTS RAFFLE Since the start of the 2001 season, the Cardinals have played five (5) overtime games; but only one (1) during the regular season - - in Nov 17, OT vs St Ignatius W, (Byers Field Regional Final) Dec 2, OT vs Hilliard-Davidson L, (Fawcett Stadium- State Final) Oct 15, OT vs Shaker Heights L, (Cardinals Stadium Week 8) Nov 15, OT vs St Edward L, (Byers Field Regional Final) Nov 9, OT vs Solon W, (Lakewood Stadium Regional Semifinal) Over the last 20 years, the Mentor Cardinals have played 194 games against PUBLIC schools (all against Ohio schools except two games vs McDowell High School from Erie, Penn.) and 36 games against PRIVATE schools.

The junior from Mentor, Ohio, endured more than his share of shaky moments Saturday as UNC kicked off the 2016 season with a loss against Georgia in the Chick-fil-A Kickoff game at the GeorgiaDome. But statistically, Trubisky s 24-for-40 night passing for 156 yards and no interceptions wasn t all that bad, especially considering it was against the nation s preseason 18th-ranked team. I was pleased with his poise, UNC coach Larry Fedora said. The first thing we asked him to do was take care of the football, and I don t ever remember him throwing the ball into any coverage or anything like that. He got a little antsy a couple of times. But I think he ll be fine going forward. I really do. Trubisky has been a source of much conversation since he signed with the Tar Heels in 2013 after being named Mr. Football in the state of Ohio. But after a redshirt freshman year, he spent the next two seasons working behind record-setting Marquise Williams. The excitement grew, however, each time Trubisky got in a game and played impressively, especially last season when he completed 40 of 47 passes for six touchdowns. But Saturday was Trubisky s first real test as a starter and it came under some extraordinary conditions. Pressure packed The Chick-fil-A Kickoff was one of several high-profile opening games Saturday being broadcast nationally, and it provided a chance for North Carolina to make a statement about its football program against a highprofile opponent. It was also played in a hostile environment at the Georgia Dome, where a large portion of the Chick-fil-A Kickoff game record crowd of 75,405 were rooting for the Bulldogs. I thought Mitch played well, given the circumstances, receiver and Trubisky s roommate Ryan Switzer said. He was thrown in there and made some mistakes. I m sure there are some throws he d like to have back. But ultimately this will make him a better player. The one pass Trubisky would definitely like to take back occurred late in the third period. With UNC s offense backed up to its own 4-yard line and facing a secondand-long play, Trubisky dropped back into the end zone to attempt a pass. His throw found running back Elijah Hood, but Hood was still standing in the end zone, too. Georgia s defense quickly gang tackled Hood for a safety that sparked an emotional turnaround for the Bulldogs. That was a bizarre play, Trubisky said. I was trying to burn the ball. I should have thrown it at Elijah s feet, but he actually made a pretty good catch. I was hoping he would drop it so we could punt. But that was a mistake on my part, and I have to learn from it.

9 Mentor Cardinals Head Coach - Steve Trivisonno Steve Trivisonno had a goal when he graduated from Mentor in Mentor Cardinals All Time Coaching Records I knew when I left that someday I wanted to come back and help make this a great football program, Trivisonno said. Thirty-five years later, he is still striving to keep the scarlet and gray among the elite of all programs in the state of Ohio. Along with success, innovation and consistency, Trivisonno has been a shining example of longevity in a business that does not always show patience. The man in charge of Mentor s consistent and successful football program will lead his team on to the field for the season opener Aug. 26 against visiting Massillon Washington. It will be the 20 th time he has done so. In this his 20 th season as head coach at his alma mater, Trivisonno is as passionate about the game as when he played in the late 70s and early 80s at Mentor, and when he was a young up-and-coming assistant with the Cardinals in the 90s. We ve been lucky to have great kids, great coaches to work with, Trivisonno said. I can t believe it has been 20 years. It seems like yesterday. Trivisonno left Mentor after graduation and went on to play defensive back at Bowling Green. After graduating from BG in 1985, Trivisonno went to Madison for two years before returning to Mentor. He was an assistant under Dick Kirschbaum and eventually took over for Mike Pavlansky prior to the 1997 season. Trivisonno has 166 career victories, three Division I state runner-up finishes, he has coached two Mr. Football winners in the state of Ohio and he has seen several of his players go on to earn D-I college scholarships. A state title remains the goal and is always motivation, but Trivisonno says it does not define the program or his legacy. We want to be a consistent, successful football team and I think we have done that. And of course we want to bust our butts to win a state title. That s why you play. That s why you work hard in January to get to play in December, Trivisonno said. A state title is always the goal, but it isn t the end-all if we ever win it or not. We work hard not only for ourselves but for all the guys who came before us. Trivisonno has earned several individual honors during his tenure at Mentor and recently reached the 150-win milestone. As for what starting his 20 th season as head coach of the Cardinals means to him, Trivisonno didn t take long to answer. It means I m old, he said with a smile. 1 S TRIVISONNO 1997-present D Kerschbaum E Masonbrick T Frazier D Crum F Domokos L Tressel C Tischendorf A Riesen M Pavlansky E Biederman D Henderson L Michael J Hecker R Clements C Mefort D Canton WINS LOSSES TIES PERCENTAGE TOTAL GAMES (since 1924) Coach Steve Trivisonno's Overall Coaching Record YEAR Regular Season Post Season Overall Record W L T Perc% W L T Perc% W L T Perc% WINS no playoffs Regular Season Lost - Regional Semi Final (Strongsville) OHSAA Playoffs Lost - Regional Qtr Final (Shaker Hts) no playoffs LOSSES no playoffs Regular Season Lost - Regional Final (Warren Harding) OHSAA Playoffs Lost - Regional Final (St Edward) no playoffs no playoffs Regular Season Lost - State Final (Hillard Davidson) OHSAA Playoffs Lost - State Final (Cincinnati St Xavier) Lost - Regional Semi Final (Strongsville) no playoffs Lost - Regional Quarters (St Edward) Lost - Regional Finals (St Ignatius) Lost - State Semi Final (Toledo Whitmer) Lost - State Final (Cincinnati Moeller) Lost - Regional Semi Final (Hudson) Lost - Regional Quarters (St Edward) CURRENT SEASON Results PERCENTAGE

The trip to Parma on Sept. 3 was not one of them. St. Ignatius dominated every phase of the game and avenged a 2015 loss at the JTO by handing the Cardinals a 49-7 defeat. First impressions are usually lasting ones. Isaiah Gullick and the Mentor Cardinals certainly left a lasting imprint on the 2016 season with a resounding performance in the opener against visiting Massillon on Aug. 26. Making his first varsity start, Gullick - a 5-foot-9, 180-pound senior - ran for 238 yards and five touchdowns, leading Mentor to a win over the Tigers in front of more than 7,000 fans at Jerome T. Osborne Stadium. I prayed all the time I d be able to show my talents, Gullick said. I had my chance tonight, and I m thankful for it. I m very blessed. Gullick who overcame injury as a sophomore and bided his time behind All-Ohioan Alex Mathews as a junior - scored on touchdown runs of 2, 78, 4 and 20 yards. He also caught an 18-yard touchdown pass on a screen from quarterback Tadas Tatarunas. Before leaving the field after the game, Gullick pulled the Mentor offensive linemen together and thanked them one by one. I m nothing without my teammates and especially those guys, Gullick said of his line. They believe in what I can do, and I believe in what they can do. Cardinals coach Steve Trivisonno, starting his 20th season at the helm of his alma mater, wasn t all that surprised with Gullick s effort. You guys didn t believe me. I told you he was pretty good, Trivisonno said. He bided his time. He didn t complain. He worked hard, got his chance and did a great job. I m proud of him. When Massillon made its big push in the second half, it was Gullick who answered for the scarlet and gray. After Nate Gregg s 21-yard field goal to start the fourth quarter made it 36-24, Gullick ripped off a 50-yard run to put his team deep into Massillon territory. We got out-toughed tonight. We better figure out how to play with a sense of urgency and play like a good football team, Mentor coach Steve Trivisonno said. The Wildcats dominated time of possession and chewed up yardage on the ground in the first half, jumping out to a 14-0 lead. Mentor (1-1) was in the game and had momentum late in the second quarter after a 47-yard touchdown pass from Tadas Tatarunas to Derek Kleinhenz pulled the Cardinals to within a touchdown at On the ensuing possession, Mark Gordon had a sack and caused a fumble that was recovered by Mentor. However, an interception in the end zone by the Wildcats kept the Cardinals from tying the game before halftime. That was a big play (interception) and then we get the ball in the second half and don t do anything with it, Trivisonno said. We had so many three-and-outs, and it is hard to ask the defense to stay on the field that long. We just need to get better as a whole football team. Everyone needs to get better and play harder if we are going to be a good team. St. Ignatius (2-0) pulled away in the second half behind the running of James Andrews and Mark Bobinski. The Wildcats scored three touchdowns in the third quarter to push out to a 35-7 advantage. The Wildcats had 445 yards of offense and 27 first downs to just 146 yards and eight first downs for Mentor. St. Ignatius did not punt in the game. The one positive Trivisonno said he took from the night was Kleinhenz, who not only had a TD catch, but punted six times for a near 38-yards per kick average. A few plays later, he scored on the screen pass from Tatarunas. Massillon came right back with a touchdown pass from Seth Blankenship to Austin Jasinski to make it 43-31, but Gullick tacked on two more touchdown runs to finish off the Tigers. The game started off with three touchdowns being scored in the first 2 minutes, 5 seconds of the game, including a span of three touchdowns in a span of four offensive plays. When Will Laganke scooped up a fumble and raced 66 yards for a touchdown, Mentor had a 20-7 lead in the first quarter. It was a 29-7 halftime lead when Ryan Hagan hauled in a 90-yard halfback pass from Logan Shea. That play was huge, Trivisonno said. I thought it was the right time to run it and the guys executed. Massillon methodically got back into the game, thanks in large part to senior receiver Austin Jasinski. Not only did the 6- foot-1, 163-pounder have 14 catches for 220 yards and three touchdowns, but he also intercepted a pair passes. Mentor outgained Massillon, Tatarunas completed 5 of 16 passes for 137 yards, but two went for touchdowns. The opening-game loss was Massillon s first since 2010

18 Week 3 - St. Xavier Friday, September 9, 2016 Jerome T Osborne Stadium Mentor, Ohio 7:00 PM kickoff Week 3 - St. Xavier Cincinnati St. Xavier Bombers 20 MENTOR CARDINALS 7 Cincinnati St. Xavier Bombers MENTOR CARDINALS nd 8:56 Mentor Ryan Hagan 16 yard pass from Tadas Tatarunas (Tyler Knapp kick) 2nd 4:47 St Xavier Nicholas Moeller 9 yard pass from Chase Wolfe (Joshua Glaser kick) 3rd 4:52 St Xavier Chase Wolfe 7 yard run (Joshua Glaser kick) 4th 0:00 St Xavier Colton Paul 87 yard interception return Mentor is an unfamiliar position at 1-2 after three weeks, but Cardinals coach Steve Trivisonno is anything but panicked. Frustrated and disappointed with the outcome of the 20-7 loss to visiting St. Xavier on Sept, 9, perhaps, but the veteran coach was able to quickly see the bigger picture after Mentor lost a difficult game to an elite opponent. If we don t turn the ball over we might have been ina position for a blowout win, Trivisonno said. Our guys played their tails off. They played hard, they battled and they will be prepared for later in the year (playoffs). Not a lot of teams play the schedule we play. These games aren t for now, they are for later or what is the point? The Mentor defense - which had fourth-down stands on four occasions - dominated the first quarter as the Bombers mustered 19 yards on 12 plays. The Cardinals forced four three-and-outs to begin the game, as St. Xavier didn t convert a first down until nearly 16 minutes elapsed. Meanwhile, the Cardinals went up 7-0 as junior QB Tadas Tatarunas 16-yard touchdown pass to Ryan Hagan capped a 10-play, 61-yard drive with 8:56 left in the second quarter. St. Xavier countered to sustain a drive for the first time and scored on a Chase Wolf to Nicholas Moeller 9-yard TD hookup tying the game at 7. Turnovers derailed scoring chances in the first half for Mentor as a botched snap at the St. Xavier 6- yard line ended a Mentor drive in the first quarter and a fumble at the Bombers 25-yard line occurred as the Cardinals were about to break into the red zone on their ensuing drive after the touchdown. After Wolf ran for a touchdown to put the Bombers up 14-7 seven minutes into the third quarter, Tatarunas was intercepted twice. The second pick came on the last play of the game, which Colton Paul returned 87 yards for a score after time expired for the final margin of victory, but a meaningless score in relevance to the game. Mentor was hindered by penalties, two of which cut down drives in the fourth quarter including a holding call that negated a big reception that would have put the Cardinals in position to tie or win the game with less than 1 minute to play. Tatarunas finished with 187 yards on 17 of 35 passing, while Isaiah Gullick ran for 125 yards on 26 carries to rebound after St. Ignatius held him below 30 yards in a Week 2 loss. Trivisonno was pleased with his defense all game, which yielded 260 yards on 57 plays. Wolf, playing in his second varsity game, threw for 170 yards and led the Bombers with 79 rushing yards. "Our defense was tremendous tonight," Trivisonno said. "We are a pretty good football team. These are really good teams we are playing and we are going to get better."
