Midview met Avon Lake in a Southwestern Conference showdown Friday night.
AVON LAKE, Ohio – For the second straight week, both Avon Lake and Midview were in a game that came down to the final moments.A 6-yard touchdown run by senior tailback Anthony Benedict with 1:48 left capped a 21-unanswered-point second half for the Shoremen. And, just like last weekend against Amherst, a fourth-down play into the end zone with time running out came up empty for the visiting Middies.
“Anytime that you can continue to move the ball throughout the game, you want that momentum in the third and fourth quarter. If we continued to run the ball effectively, I knew we could get those late touchdowns. We were able to do that last week against Berea-Midpark with late rushing touchdowns in the third and fourth quarter that allowed us to come back, and we did again tonight. We turned out good runs and we were being consistent with our blocking.
“Even though we were down, we knew we were beating them in every aspect but the scoreboard,” said Benedict, who finished with a game-high 109 yards on 24 carries and added one catch for 10 more yards. “We were beating them off the line and our defense was doing a great job. We knew we were kicking them in the and it was just a matter of time before things were going to go our way.
But the Shoremen defense toughened up. Williams took a 4-yard sack, then fired three straight incomplete passes. The final one was intended for Camden Scott on a corner route to the end zone, but was broken up. The extra point cut the deficit to 17-10. But the Shoremen stunned everyone by trying an onside kick and recovering it at the Midview 48. Sophomore Jacob Perry recovered the ball.
