Lakewood Rangers Dominate Rhodes for 29-0 Victory
Elyria High’s Pioneers opened the season amid Lake Erie League play with mixed results. Lakewood High, led by coach Ralph Ness, crushed Cleveland James Ford Rhodes 29-0 at Lakewood field, signaling a strong bid in the league race. Cleveland Heights also impressed in a 34-14 win over Cleveland Glenville, while Lorain, Shaker Heights and Shaw posted fair openings. Elyria’s QB uncertainty and turnover pitfalls marred their setback to Toledo DeVilbiss, though co-captains Jim Lear and Tony Curcillo anchored a sturdy line and solid tackling. The Southwestern Conference also began play with Medina, Wellington, Fairview, and Rocky River earning wins, Clearview suffering a lopsided 69-0 loss to Toledo Waite, and fears rising over future state-class opposition.
