Nordonia at Twinsburg
What, when, where: Western Reserve Conference game, 7:30 p.m., Tiger Stadium, 10084 Ravenna Road, Twinsburg. Call 330- 486-2480.
Records: Nordonia 1-3, 0-1; Twinsburg 4-0, 1-0.
What to watch: No matter what happens over the next several years, this is a rivalry that should never be interrupted. While Nordonia has been one of the area's top teams recently -- a 33-6 record and consecutive playoff appearances the last three years -- it is a veteran Twinsburg team that is flourishing behind a strong offensive line and running back Julian Lamon. The Tigers are averaging 30 points a game and their defense has not yielded more than two touchdowns in a single outing. Nordonia is off to its worst start in years, but played very well in last week's 10-7 loss to Solon, the fourth-ranked team in The Plain Dealer poll. Junior tailback Jordan Mabin got off to a slow start, but responded with back-to-back games of 100 or more yards against Midview and Solon and is close to 500 yards on the season. Nordonia has defeated Twinsburg four years in a row and has won five of the past seven meetings.
