But the Wildcats couldn't turn all those plays and red-zone trips into points.

7:40 p.m.: Tykwon Ward steps up big for Ravenna

What a play by Tykwon Ward with his second takeaway of the first half. Mogadore went with trickery on fourth and four with a toss sweep throw to the end zone and Ward stepped in to pick off the under-thrown ball and take off 96 yards down the left sideline.

Tale of the tape between Mogadore and Ravenna

Meet the Mogadore Wildcats football team

Mogadore dropped a close opener at Field despite an electric 48-yard touchdown run from Conner Lehner. The Wildcats yielded 195 rushing yards last week (141 by Drexal McAmis) against a very solid Falcons ground game, but have a very solid defense led by DL Nick Stephenson and LB Will Baskey. Mogadore hasn't lost back-to-back games since 2004 and is hoping to avoid its first 0-2 start of the century.

Meet the Ravenna Ravens football team

Ravenna dropped a tight contest to Roosevelt, 14-7, despite Bryant Thompson starring with an interception and a touchdown catch. While the Ravens struggled offensively in their opener, their defense was rock solid, holding the Rough Riders to just 100 yards on 34 carries. That run defense, led by LB Jaxon Kelly and DL Robert Melzer, will need to be on its game once again taking on a Wildcats team that has an array of strong backs.

Meet Mogadore coach Matt Adorni

Matt Adorni has been at the helm of the Wildcats since 2004, recording his 200th career win during last year's postseason. Mogadore has a history of deep runs under Adorni, including its current string of three straight regional title game appearances.

Meet Ravenna coach Brian Coman

Brian Coman, a Ravenna Class of 1988 graduate, made his head coaching debut last week. He was previously a longtime coordinator at Akron East and an assistant coach at Ravenna and Stow-Munroe Falls. After playing for the Ravens, he went on to start for Youngstown State.
