Pioneers edge North Olmsted in opener despite inconsistencies
Elyria High defeated North Olmsted 57 53 as coach Mike Riley called the debut mixed with momentum in the third and a fourth quarter collapse. Riley praised young performers Jeff Smith and John Mongerson while North Olmsted coach Jim Burkett noted early defensive miscues but lauded Elyria’s size and outside shooting by Griffin and Mongerson. Willie Gerlach, a top shooter for North Olmsted, was slowed by foul trouble as both teams battled for rebounds and clock control.

Browns' Hoaglin to start at center despite injury
Cleveland Browns coach Nick Skorich will keep Jim Copeland at center against Houston tomorrow while Fred Hoaglin, cleared from a leg injury, will snap on punts and placekicks. Copeland has earned a larger role as blocker and can fill guard if needed. Nelson shows a solid recovery from a back injury and Leroy Kelly could return after a bruised foot.
