Avon Lake at Avon
What: Southwestern Conference game
When: 7 p.m., Aug. 30
Where: Joe Firment Chevrolet Stadium, 3075 Stoney Ridge Road, Avon
2018 records: Avon Lake 10-2, Avon 12-2
Last meeting: 2018 – Avon Lake won, 31-28.
For the record: Avon Lake has beaten its rival twice in the past three seasons, including a 2016 first-round playoff game. This year the teams aren’t waiting until the second half of the season to face each other. Avon will no doubt pack the house for its season-opener and arguably its most anticipated game of the season when it debuts a new-look offense, including senior quarterback Danny Zeh. The Shoremen offense looks different from 2018 as they too have a first-year quarterback in senior Harry Herbert, but feature an athletic defense with seven returners that will make for an instant classic typical of most Avon Lake-Avon football games.
