Strongsville vs Mentor by Darryl Epp
1st quarter
This matchup started with Strongsville receiving the ball, they could only muster one first down before having to punt, but the punt was mishandled and the Mustangs could only get off a 4 yard punt. With great field possession at the Mustangs’ 39 yard line, it only took the Cardinals two plays to reach pay dirt.
They did so behind a 21 yard run from running back Riley Coughlin and a 18 yard pass from quarterback Ian Kipp. Mentor 6 Strongsville 0.
Both teams traded possessions until the 1:35 mark when Mentor took the ball at their own 9 yard line and behind Kipp’s passing arm went down the field and scored on a 37 yard pass to wideout Hutch Baird for the second Cardinal touchdown. Mentor 13 Strongsville 0.
