The gridiron gladiators of Central Ohio's high school football teams marched on into Week 4, and the excitement was palpable as league matchups came into play. According to WBNS, the lineup featured a highly anticipated game between Upper Arlington and New Albany, with Upper Arlington showcasing their dominance in a definitive 42-7 victory.
In an equally tense face-off, the resilience of Lake High School shone through, even after losing key player Ty DeGeorge to a broken ankle a week prior. In a statement obtained by CantonRep, Lake's coach Dan DeGeorge commended his team's tenacity, "Our kids are tough, man," he said, "They really are." Lake's players stepped up to the plate, earning them a notable 31-15 victory over an up-to-that-point undefeated Perry team.

He told the publication, "My guys are fighting for me, so I've got to fight back for them."
