“We play in a really good public school league,” said Avon coach Adam Castrilla. “We don’t really get days off, and I let the kids know that the first half of our conference schedule is what it is, but we’re excited about the second half.”

Unfortunately for the Eagles, that was short lived, and the Titans scored the next 14 points to take a 16-3 lead at the end of the first quarter.

“My job as a coach is to stay positive,” Atkinson said. “I’m thankful we have great leaders. This doesn’t bother them. They keep me stable.”

His struggling club has lost seven of their last 10 games, including two in a row, heading into the Chicago Bulls game on Friday at Rocket Arena. Cleveland has plummeted to 15-13 and were eighth in the Eastern Conference playoff race before Friday's game.

Also, the Browns won’t have Denzel Ward to help keep Bills quarterback Josh Allen under wraps Sunday.

BEREA — If this it for Joel Bitonio, he’s going out more beloved than ever. The Browns’ super-steady left guard, who contemplated retirement after last year before returning for a 12th NFL season, has made an indelible impression on his coaches and teammates as 2025 heads into its final days. ...

“The guy’s unbelievable,” said Garrett, who has one career sack of Josh Allen. “What he can do at the quarterback position, with the ball in general, there’s no one like him. He’s winning MVPs for a reason. So we’ll have to stop him. We’ll have to stop that running game. We’ll have to try and make him one-dimensional, but that’s a hell of a dimension to have.”

BEREA — ’Tis the season, and while it’s been yet another dreadful one, Myles Garrett can help salvage something for the Browns. With the NFL single-season sack record tantalizingly close, Garrett wants to give Cleveland fans an early holiday gift. “I want it here in front of my home fans,”...

“Last year, the coaches said the goal was to build a program, and everyone really took that seriously,” Lena Foltin said.

With the juniors Lilly Shmois and Kathryn Krueger leading the offense and sophomore point guard Lena Foltin emerging as a leader on both ends of the court, the Royals are seeing their rebuilding process paying dividends.

“It was a really special moment,” Goran said of his 1,000th point. “I know not a lot of people at Keystone have been able to do that. Coming into high school, it was nothing I really even thought about, but after freshman year I started to get the feeling it could happen.”

Goran, became the 11th player in Keystone history to surpass that milestone in the Wildcats December 6 win over Western Reserve.

“The biggest thing there is we have to control the game by stopping the run,” defensive coordinator Jim Schwartz said Thursday. “They were able to consistently run it, where we couldn’t really make it one-dimensional for the passing game.”

BEREA -- The problems with the run defense go beyond a couple of poor plays. After the Browns struggled stopping the run for the second straight week Sunday in a 31-3 loss to the Bears, defensive coordinator Jim Schwartz was forced to acknowledge the depth of the issues. Chicago rushed for 142 yards...

Also, defensive coordinator Jim Schwartz credited rookie linebacker Carson Schwesinger for continuing to play and be productive as he fights through a high ankle sprain sustained Oct. 26 against the Patriots. The Browns had the bye the week after he got hurt and he hasn’t missed a game.

BEREA -- Jerry Jeudy has had a disappointing season, drawing the ire of many Browns fans. Coordinator Tommy Rees is unequivocal in his support of the struggling receiver. “I love Jerry Jeudy,” Rees said Thursday. “And I love what he brings to our group. I love what he approaches the game with....

Right guard Wyatt Teller hopes this is the week he can return from a calf injury that sidelined him the last two games. He returned to practice Wednesday in a limited role for the first time since getting injured Nov. 30 in the final plays of a loss to the 49ers.

BEREA -- The Browns missed cornerback Denzel Ward on Sunday in the 31-3 loss to the Bears. He missed being on the field. “It was very tough, seeing it definitely from a different perspective,” said Ward, who was sidelined with a calf injury sustained in the previous game. “I was on the sidelin...
