Shelby 36, Clear Fork 21
The Shelby Whippets came alive in the second half of a homecoming victory.
Quarterback Brayden DeVito hit Issaiah Ramsey on a 90-yard strike with 1:54 left in the first quarter to get the scoring started, but the Colts responded when Kasey Swank ran for a 16-yard TD with 8:56 left in the first half to even the score. Swank's 6-yard scoring run gave the Colts a 14-7 lead with 3:46 remaining in the half but DeVito connected with Nic Eyster on the Whippets's second big play of the night, a 60-yard pass to make it 14-14 at the half.
The Whippets then scored 22 unanswered. DeVito opened the second half up with a 55-yard run and later added a 25-yarder to make it 29-14. Skyler Winters had a 1-yard run to cap off the run. Swank scored his third TD of the game on a 5-yard run for the Colts' first fourth-quarter points of the season but it was too little too late.
DeVito connected on eight passes for 235 yards while running for 170 on 10 carries. Ramsey caught four balls for 147 yards. Swank ran for 212 yards on 37 carries while Nick Appleman ran for 110 on 17 touches. Swank three for 37 yards.

St. Paul 33, Crestview 7
The Cougars saw their quest for a fourth straight Firelands Conference championship come to an end.
The Flyers took a 27-0 lead into halftime before Ayden Reymer was able to get the Cougars on the board with a 31-yard touchdown run. But it wasn't enough to get the Cougars back into it.
