Twinsburg TIGERS Overall; Suburban eague TE OPENING DRIVE TRCKING TE TIGERS ead Coach Mike Twinsburg thletic Brecksville BEES Overall; Suburban eague Twinsburg is coming off its first victory of the season and will go for back-to-back wins in a eek 5 road contest at undefeated Brecksville-Broadview eights. The Bees (, Suburban National) routed the Cuyahoga Falls Black Tigers (, ) in eek 4, BB has been one of the most consistent programs in the area over the last few years. This season is no different, guided by head coach Jason Black. In the win over Cuyahoga Falls, the Bees relied on senior quarterback uke Strnad early and often. Strnad started the scoring by tossing a 12-yard pass to senior Joey McGonegal to take an early 7-0 lead. fter the Bees defense forced a turnover, Strnad connected with junior receiver Sam iglusz to take a 13-0 lead into the second quarter. The second quarter was equally dominant for Brecksville-Broadview eights. fter junior safety Mike Rose s interception, junior lec Buckley capitalized with a 7-yard touchdown run to give the Bees a 20-0 lead. Strnad found his senior tight end Victor Bierman for a 3-yard touchdown with 48 seconds remaining to extend the lead to 27-0 entering halftime and cruised to a fourth straight win. They are a very dynamic football team, Twinsburg coach Mike Bell said. They are creative with their offensive scheme and play hard and fast on defense. hat I am most impressed with is how hard Coach Jason Black gets them to play." Twinsburg is getting an ll-ohio type of season from junior wideout Christian Edgerson, who had three touchdowns in four touches against North Royalton. Sophomore dam Van de Motter and senior Jalen Tucker have both seen time at quarterback and both are capable playmakers. Tre Radford is a promising sophomore receiver for the Tigers. Junior linebacker James Grammens had a breakout game in the win over North Royalton. Isaiah Savitt is an upand-coming sophomore linebacker for Twinsbug. The Tigers are allowing 35 points per game.

To be honest, it is kind of a big relief to have finally gotten that 100th win out of the way, Bell said. It seems as though it's been a monkey on the back for a while. I can tell you this, I did not do it alone. Every player and coach that I have had the opportunity to work with is responsible for this achievement. It has caused me to do a little reflecting and reminiscing and to realize just how blessed I am to do what I do.
