by The city of Avon is still riding high from their recent OHSAA Division II State Championship. As well they should be as it was a magical 16-0 ride! In the non so distant background was the incredible marching band that kept the fans revved and ready to cheer each and every week. Sometimes in the rain and as we saw at states, in the snow too!
