Senior QB Trey Bialowas led the Demons rally with 400 yards passing and four touchdowns, as well as two rushing touchdowns.
We have a rematch on our hands! In week 2 of the regular season these teams met with the result being Westlake edging out Olmsted Falls 34-31. Last week both teams proved that they have the heart and tenacity to fight until the very end, and with it being such a close game between them earlier this season, expect a classic for their rematch. Can Westlake get two wins against the Bulldogs this season, or will Olmsted Falls redeem themselves and keep their season alive?
Good luck to both teams and stay tuned for a post-game report.
