A 64-yard Kharion Davis pick six ended the dramatic Avon rally, and gave the Knights of Hoban a 28-14 victory. They will now play Massillon in the rematch of the century for the Division II State Championship next weekend in Columbus.
The Hoban Knights used a 80 yard, 7 minute drive over 13 plays to start the scoring on their opening drive of the game. This was after a 5 plus minute drive came up empty on the Nathan Vakos 42-yard field goal that sailed wide right.
The Knights touchdown came on a 11-yard Victor Dawson touchdown run. Dawson had a big night with 17 carries for 110 yards and 2 big touchdowns.
It was the Knights cashing in again with a stellar two-minute drive that started on their own 36 with only a minute and change to go to end the first half.
They got the ball back after an Avon Eagle drive went 4 and out on 4 straight incomplete passes after a shanked punt gave the Eagles great field position. The Knights finished it off with a 19-yard passing strike from Shane Hamm to Brayden Fox with 11 seconds to go in the half.
Fox had a big game with 5 catches for 85 yards and a touchdown. Hamm went 13 of 21 for 191 yards and that touchdown. His other big targets were Kharion Davis who had 3 catches for 35 yards and Shawn Parnell who had 3 catches for 32 yards.
Being down is nothing new to the Avon Eagles, they don’t blink in the face of adversity and tonight was no different. After the opening Hoban drive stalled because of penalties, the Eagles took over near midfield and began their comeback attempt. It was a rough night for Hoban penalty wise as they chalked up 133 yards on 15 costly penalties.
The Eagles scored on an 8-yard pass to from Niko Pappas to the suddenly red-hot Timmy Conwell. Pappas rebounded from a slow first half to have a strong second half. Pappas finished with 144 yards on 14 of 26 passing with a touchdown and two picks late. Conwell finished the season strong with a 7 catch 66-yard night.
Pappas did his best work with his feet as he has all season. Pappas used big runs of 29 and 23 yards on back to back drives in the second half to get the Eagles offense cooking. The second drive resulted in a touchdown for the Eagles to tie the game.
A 16-yard pass to Mike Ptacek put them on the two-yard line for first and goal. They rushed to the line and then Pappas lunged forward breaking the plane to tie the game at 14 with 9:34 to go.
The Archbishop Knights aren’t one of the top teams in the state year in and year out for no reason and tonight they showed why again. They calmly responded with one big play after another to retake the lead on a 3-minute drive capped off by a powerful 3-yard touchdown run by Dawson to reclaim the lead at 21-14 with 6:37 to go. The defense would seal the deal from there.
The 2018 State Championship game between Hoban and Massillon was the greatest high school football game I have ever covered. Next week, we get the state title game rematch! They did play last year, but that was for the Regional Title.
