Olentangy at Lorain tonight

Tonight will be the first high school football play-off game ever hosted by a Lorain city high school.  George Daniel Field will be the site of the historic event made possible by the Lorain Titans who finished the regular season at 8-2 and Lake Erie League Champions.

Lorain

Lorain High School was the result of the merger of Admiral King and Southview High Schools in 2010.  The Titans is their 7th year have reached the play-offs for the 2nd time in three seasons under Head Coach Dave McFarland - who was the head coach previously at Midpark, Oberlin and Elyria Catholic.

Lorain's season turned around when they rallied from a 15-point fourth-quarter hole to defeat previously unbeaten Sandusky 24-23 in week 7- that game started a streak of four straight wins over teams with winning records including a 14-13 win last week against Cleveland Heights.

Olentangy

The opposition for tonight's game are the Olentangy Braves who finished tied for 2nd in the Ohio Capital Conference.  Their Head Coach is Mark Solis who has been a high school football coach for 18 seasons including the last four with the Braves.  Solis' previously coaching stints include Ashland Crestview, Elyria, Twinsburg and was the Head Coach at Lorain in 2011 and 2012 compiling a 7-13 record.

The Braves are 7-3 (3-2 in the Ohio Capital Conference).  Their season highlight was a 52-51 victory in week 3 against Reynoldsburg in which Olentangy rallied from a 27 point 2nd half deficit to win.  More recently the Braves have won two straight.  Last week in a 28-21 win at Westerville Central, Olentangy jumped out to a 21-0 lead, gave up the lead, rallied late to win.

The winner of tonight's game with advance in the Division 1, Region 2 bracket facing the winner of Dublin Jerome and Findlay.
