Week 7 of Cleveland Browns High School Game of the Week presented by Ohio Cat, in association with Medliminal, continued with yet another thriller with the Dover Tornadoes hosting the Strongsville Mustangs on Friday night.
The Dover Tornadoes came out on top with a nail-biting victory to remain undefeated (6-0) as they beat the Mustangs, 14-13. Both teams held stout defensive performances, battling back and forth until Strongsville quarterback, Maddux Beard, ran it into the endzone for the game's first score with just seconds left in the first half.
Strongsville's defense led by Clemson commit, Blake Miller (LT/DT), continued to cause issues for the Tornado offense up until Dover was finally able to put their first points on the board, as quarterback T.C. Molk connected with wide receiver Jacob Jones for a 10-yard touchdown, early in the fourth quarter. As the game began to wind down, a botched kick-off by Strongsville allowed for Dover to start their drive with outstanding field position which completely flipped the momentum of the game, favoring the Tornadoes.

The Dover Tornadoes came out on top with a nail-biting victory to remain undefeated (6-0) as they beat the Mustangs, 14-13.
Costly penalties from Strongsville (9 total, 100 yards gave up) came down to hurt the team as a 15-yard penalty allowed for the ball to be spotted for the Dover offense at their own 42-yard line. The very next play, second-string QB, Ayden Hall launched a 58-yard touchdown to WR Joey Farthing with 2:48 left on the clock, giving Dover a 14-13 lead. As Strongsville retained possession on the next drive, Dover DB/QB T.C. Molk intercepted Beard's pass, which led for Dover to line up in victory formation.
Dover (6-0) will play host in a non-conference game vs. Marietta next week, as Strongsville (4-3) will play host vs Euclid for a conference battle.
