Hawks Fly Away with OHSAA
Division IV State Football Crown MASSILLON, Ohio � Columbus Bishop Hartley took control of the game early and remained in the driver�s seat for its entirety, as the Hawks defeated Chagrin Falls 34-13 to claim the Division IV state football championship Friday at Massillon Paul Brown Tiger Stadium. Bishop Hartley scored on its first three possessions of the game, with the offensive onslaught beginning on the Hawks� first play from scrimmage when senior running back Omar Lane scampered 52 yards for a touchdown. Four minutes later, Hawks senior quarterback Austin Underwood connected with receiver sophomore Jawuan Woodley on a 43-yard touchdown pass. Senior running back Noah Key, the Division IV co-offensive player of the year, capped off the first half scoring for Bishop Hartley, as he was able to take a carry to the outside and streak 60 yards up the sideline for a touchdown. In the second quarter, Chagrin Falls scored on an 11-yard screen pass from sophomore quarterback Tommy Iammarino to sophomore running back Bradley Munday to cut the deficit to 20-7 at halftime. Chagrin Falls scored late in the third quarter, as sophomore running back Kurt Vidmer scored on a two-yard run to pull the Tigers within a touchdown at 20-13. Bishop Hartley quickly responded, as Underwood hit sophomore receiver Jacob Matuska with a 10-yard toss in the back of the end zone. The Hawks then put the game away for good, as Noah Key recovered a successful onside kick immediately following the score. Minutes later, Key rushed for a 17-yard touchdown, giving Bishop Hartley its 34-13 lead. Bishop Hartley outgained Chagrin Falls offensively, with 378 yards of total offense compared to the Tigers� 159 yards. Most of the damage was done on the ground, as the Hawks finished with 299 rushing yards. Noah Key led the way for Bishop Hartley, rushing 24 times for 130 yards and two touchdowns. In addition to his offensive production and recovered onside kick, he also added an interception on the defensive side of the ball. Lane carried the ball six times for 117 yards and one touchdown.

Kempe finished the game six-for-nine passing for a 119 yards, throwing for one touchdown and running for another. Coldwater persisted all afternoon, refusing to relent after falling behind early. Senior receiver Ross Klenke collected seven catches for 125 yards and three touchdowns to lead the way for the Cavaliers.

St. Edward, determined to persevere, took the ball 60 yards on seven plays, scoring with 1:32 left in the game. Bates provided the game-winning score on a 17-yard run from scrimmage. The Eagles converted a two-point conversion to go up by seven when Burke connected with junior receiver Quincy Jones in the back corner of the end zone.
