Perkins at Elyria Catholic

What: Nonconference game

When: 7 p.m., Aug. 30

Where: Knights of Columbus Field, Elyria Catholic High School, 725 Gulf Road, Elyria

2018 records: Perkins 2-8, Elyria Catholic 9-3

For the record: Elyria Catholic is looking to pick up where it left off after an incredible 2018 season. With 25 returning lettermen the Panthers are primed to do just that, and a home opener against a young Perkins team that finished with a mere two wins last season should help set the stage for another banner year. Junior Steven Navilinsky steps in at quarterback with plenty of big targets, including three returners: Jaret Frantz (6-foot-4, 200 pounds), Connor Trockley (6-3, 175) and Nate Damron (6-5, 220). Despite maybe a few adjustments, the Panthers should command the field against Perkins.
