Glenville football coach Ted Ginn Sr. said he could understand if his team was guilty of looking ahead to a possible rematch with St. Ignatius. That doesn?t mean he wanted to tolerate it.

The Tarblooders committed five turnovers in the first 29 minutes but still had enough in the tank to beat a game Brecksville-Broadview Heights team, 35-8, on Saturday in a Division I regional quarterfinal game in Bedford?s Bearcat Stadium. That victory, plus St. Ignatius? 37-0 win over St. Edward, sets up a rematch between the top two Division I teams in Northeastern Ohio on Saturday at a site to be determined early this week. Glenville won the first game, 20-17, on a field goal by Marvel Brooks on the last play.

Added cornerback Christian Bryant, who made two key defensive plays: "We?re really excited to play them again."
