For the record: Rocky River and Westlake are renewing a rivalry that dates to 1954. The teams haven’t met since 2014 but will be playing for the Westwood Cup on opening night. Westlake currently owns a 32-28-1 advantage over Rocky River, but the Demons have just one win over the past two seasons while the Pirates have posted back-to-back seven-win seasons including a regional semifinal appearance in 2018. … Westlake coach Dan LaRocco will be tasked with rebuilding the program in his first year and it likely starts with a statement win at home.
