Fourth quarter surge lifts Rocky River past Avon in non-conference game
Rocky River rallied from 6-0 deficit with 20 unanswered points in the fourth quarter to beat Avon 20-6. Sophomore quarterback Greg Helms sparked the comeback with five second-half completions and two touchdown passes, while Avon's defense forced turnovers but failed to stop River's late surge. Avon earlier led on Tom Baracskai and Mike Higginson scores, but costly fumbles and key interceptions by Avon defender Joe Hollars swung momentum.
