Indian Valley wins state 37-36 over Sandusky Perkins


 

Canton, Ohio— The last game of the Ohio 2024 football season might have been the best one. With 7,350 fans in the stadium, Indian Valley battled Sandusky Perkins in a game that featured two Bonifield High School football studs. For the Braves of Indian Valley, Grady Kinsey, and for the Pirates of Sandusky Perkins, it was Braylon Collier. Both of these players provided most of the fireworks for their teams.

He averages 6.9 yards a carry. He was not alone in putting up big numbers. Quarterback Ryker Williams ran for 113 yards on 15 totes. Both players completed the only passes they threw, with each going 1-1. Williams catch went for 50 yards.

Quarterback Sam Schweinfurth threw for 370 yards and a Division IV championship game record-tying five scores. Overall he completed 18-24 passes. Long, short, or medium range, he threw them all well.

Semi Pro: Columbus Fire 8 Port City Spartans 0 (Game called in the third because of fighting)

  Yesterday I drove to Portsmouth and met up with my friend Bill Norman after dinner at The Portsmouth Brewing Company before driving over to Spartan Stadium to watch the semi-pro football game and watch the Port City Spartans host the Columbus Fire. I have been to over 1,500 football games, or close to that amount, and I can say none of them prepared me for what I ended up seeing. The stadium had one set of lights that did not work at all that I had seen before (Jackson State University). One pole had a light missing, and another pole had one single light that did not work at all on the visitor's side, making the field dark. I saw a fan on the Spartans side of the field standing with the players vaping, and I saw a player setting on the bench for most of the game also vaping. The game itself was stopped once when the refs walked off the field for what one player on the Spartans said was because a Columbus player said something about going after the ref with a gun. Then a fight bro...
