Avon is running a live stream on Hudl.
Pretty good free stream.
Avon up 7-0 1st

Hard to link Hudl, but it's there. I have the Hudl app

14-7 Avon @ Halftime

Decent game....

Avon is playing the 86th ranked Florida team next week. SMDH. They could have chosen a top 20 team but declined to play some horrible team that they will beat by halftime

Avon up 21-7

St Iggy is ranked hundreds of spots better than the FL team that Avon is playing. I think it's a punk move when you actively seek out bad teams and avoid good ones like the plague. Not powerhouses. Just above average. And not just Avon. There are TONS of teams all over who do this every year

Avon in a league is restricted & plays a good schedule albeit Iggy way down . They play Glenville who are stacked this year.
Not sure about the OOS reach but I hear you.

Avon 40-14

Agree. Fortunately for them, Ignatius is the same team they've been the past 4-5 years.

40-14 final Avon over St Ignatius
