AVON LAKE VS. AVON FOOTBALL: EAGLES EXACT REVENGE FOR PLAYOFF LOSS

In the annual battle for the Silver Rail trophy, Avon pounded rival Avon Lake, 31-6, Sept. 8 at Joe Firment Stadium in Avon.

The Eagles have waited since Nov. 4, 2016 — 309 days — to exact revenge on Avon Lake after the Shoremen pulled off an upset in the first round of last season’s playoffs, stunning then No. 1 seed Avon.

“It feels awesome,” senior David Orlando said. “We waited 309 days for this. It was a team effort and we came out, the whole offseason it was, ‘Beat Lake, beat Lake, beat Lake,’ and you know what, we came out and did it and it was a team win, offensively and defensively.

“We just wanted to pound it down (Avon Lake) and we did. We did. We came out here and we showed them what we wanted to show them last year. We came out and we did it. We got the win.”
