During this crazy year and wholly underwhelming Syracuse season, we’ve been enjoying high school football in Ohio.

My son’s team has adopted the onside kick every time approach. And lo and behold, it works. Never better than our round 2 playoff game against Perry High School with their WVU commIt Jaylen Anderson in the backfield. Perry had booted CVCA from the playoffs the last two years. The third game of the trilogy was much anticipated.

CVCA took the opening kick, ran it down their throats and scored, taking up half the first quarter. Onside kick. Recover, score again. 14-0. Onside kick again. Perfect bounce. Returned for a touchdown. 14-7. Possession 3. Repeat. 21-7. Not deterred by the prior kickoff return, onside kick again. Recover. Score again. 28-7, with 8:55 to go in the 2nd quarter.

CVCA ran 34 offensive plays before Perry’s offense took the field. Perry closed to 28-21 at half. So what to do to start the second half? Onside again. Recover again. Score again.

Overall: 4 of 7 on recoveries. 55-28 on the scoreboard. It was amazing to witness.

Here’s the cleveland.com story:

Now on to Round 3 of the playoffs this week.
