Canton South at Northwest
SITE Smilek Stadium, 7:30 p.m.
RECORDS Canton South 3-4, 1-3; Northwest 5-2, 3-1.
LAST WEEK Canton South 40, Minerva 6; Louisville 14, Northwest 0.
LAST MEETING Northwest won 42-14 last year.
WHAT TO WATCH The Indians look to keep their NBC hopes alive after losing their first conference game. Northwest was held to 106 yards of offense — just 6 on the ground — but still had chances. The Indians had a touchdown pass called back because of a penalty, a fumbled kickoff return just outside the end zone and a fumble inside the Louisville 30. “That’s three opportunities right there,” Northwest head coach Vic Whiting said. “We take advantage of those, it’s a different game.” South is coming off its best game of the season. The Wildcats ran for 278 yards as
Devon Torrence ran for three TDs and Devoe Torrence had two. South QB Ronnie May was 10-of-13 for 146 yards, all in the first half. South head coach Elmer Schuetz was pleased, especially on the heels of an overtime loss to NBC leader Louisville. “That loss took a lot out of us,” Schuetz said of the 27-21 final in which the Wildcats led 21-0 in the fourth quarter. “We played pretty well. Not great. But a lot better than we had at times this season.” Schuetz said senior DB Tony Ash is becoming a leader. Ash also plays some running back and returns kicks.
Northwest TB Scott Weber needs 28 yards to reach 1,000, while TE John Bertsch is averaging 21.9 yards per catch.
