North Ridgeville at Berea-Midpark tonight

Big early season match-up in the Southwestern conference.

Both North Ridgeville and Berea-Midpark made the post-season a year ago losing in week 11.

Westlake scores late and wins a thriller

The Westlake Demons start the year 2-0 as they score late and defeat the Olmsted Falls Bulldogs 34-31 in the Southwestern Conference opener.

The winning score came on a Trevor Bielozer 20 yard touchdown reception from Trey Bialowas with two seconds remaining. The score capped a wild 4th quarter that saw both teams trading touchdowns. Olmsted Falls had all of the momentum after scoring three straight times to take a 24-20 lead late in the 3rd quarter. Westlake executed a fake punt on 4th and 4 from their own 41 yard line and Q'darr Robinson ran 16 yards to give Westlake new life and capping the drive was a 5 yard touchdown pass from Trey Bialowas to Conner Steneckert.

Olmsted Falls rallied themselves. Three time facing 4th down, the Bulldogs converted all three times driving 65 yards in 15 plays to take the lead 31-27 with a 24 yard TD pass from Brett Hutkay to Andrew Turski with 37 seconds left.

After a pooch kick, the Demons took over at their own 48 yard line and drove the final 52 yards to take the lead for good when Bialowas found Bielozer over the middle.

The game looked as if Westlake was going to roll taking a 20-3 lead in the 2nd quarter. Bialowas had two rushing TDs and a passing TD to Billy Blood. The Bulldog running game came alive late in the 2nd quarter and into the 3rd as Spencer Linville scored twice in the 3rd quarter on his way to a 35 carry, 215 yard performance.

The Demons have four straight games dating back to last season and start 2-0 for the first time since 2012 which was the last year Westlake made the play-offs. Prior to last night's game, the Bulldogs have defeated Westlake 22 of 23 times. Westlake Head Coach Jason Hall recorded his 100th coaching win over his 15 year career (Southeast, Brush, Nordonia and Massilion).

Next week is Westlake's home opener vs. Avon Lake while the Bulldogs go on the road for the first time against Lakewood.
