Avon football defeats Avon Lake 31-7 to Capture First Silver Rail Trophy

Avon quarterback Jake Sopko led the charge as the host Eagles dominated Avon Lake on Friday night to win the first Silver Rail trophy between the rivals and its Southwestern Conference debut.

Sopko, a senior who is headed to play for the University of Cincinnati, threw for 272 yards, three touchdowns and ran for one as the Eagles beat Avon Lake, 31-7.

Avon, 2-0 and ranked seventh in the cleveland.com Top 25, forced Avon Lake to punt on its first drive and the Eagles scored on their first possession with a 21-yard touchdown pass from Sopko to senior Will Heilman. The Eagles then caught their rivals off guard as they sneaked a successful two-point conversation to go up 8-0 with 3:02 left in the first quarter.
