Elyria at Midview

What: Nonconference game

When: 7 p.m., Aug. 30

Where: Ross Field at Ed Adelsburg Stadium, 38199 W. Capel Road, Grafton

2018 records: Elyria 0-10, Midview 2-8

Last meeting: 2014 – Midview won, 42-25.

For the record: Both teams are looking to make a statement in their season opener after sub-par finishes in 2018. Midview returns most of its offensive and defensive lines which will help first-year quarterback Zac Gill, who also has a pair of running backs, T.Y. Nelson and Domenic Roman, and wide receiver Nathan Bashak returning to the lineup. On the other hand, Elyria returns eight starters on offense, including quarterback Dylan Sharlow, and six on defense. But the Middies always create a tough environment for opponents which will be difficult for Elyria to overcome if it gets behind early.
