Behind 238 yards and two touchdowns from senior running back Tyler Morgan and a missed extra point from the Wildcats in the final two minutes, the Fighting Irish overcame a 14-point deficit and earned a 27-26 victory on Tressel Field at the George Finnie Stadium at Baldwin Wallace University on Friday night. “It felt amazing to overcome a good team,” Morgan said. “They had a bad record, but it’s a great team all-around.

Last week: Bishop Watterson def. Chardon, 41-9, Lake Catholic def. Kenston, 34-20 For the record: The rugged WRC schedule begins with two teams who have historically been league contenders. Both are coming off lopsided losses to undefeated teams, Kenston losing by 14 to Lake Catholic and Chardon losing by 32 to Bishop Watterson. … Kenston has some injury issues heading into this week’s game. RB Cohen Clark (team-high 402 yards) missed last week’s game with a back injury, and three Kenston offensive linemen were on the sidelines with injuries when the game at Lake Catholic ended. QB Lucas Kaltenbach has thrown for 673 yards and five touchdowns, with Tymir Cardona (19 catches, 306 yards) and Dylan Krupp (10 catches, 121 yards) leading in receiving. Freshman Ethan Burge ran for 90 yards last week, but it all comes down to the health of the line this week. … Chardon faced a dominating team last week in Watterson, one which won the line of scrimmage against the Hilltoppers. Chardon will look to establish dominance in the trenches this week. Drayton Allgood has run for 437 yards and passed for 230. Caleb Hewitt has run for 243, caught 203 yards of real estate and is also a dangerous return man. RB Vinny Colombi has run for seven scores this season, but missed last week with an injury. This is a rugged stretch of the schedule for Kenston, which has lost consecutive games to undefeated VASJ and Lake Catholic. Kenston leads the all-time series, 25-24-1.
