Tom Hannan recorded a rare milestone Sept. 12, picking up his 100th win as a Portage County football head coach with Rootstown’s 48-8 victory over Brooklyn.
The Rovers (4-0) wasted no time as Alex Ely took the opening kickoff back for a 78-yard touchdown. Damien Reuting (eight carries, 114 yards) added two of his three rushing touchdowns before the quarter was through, and Blake Mullaly tossed a 36-yard TD pass to Max McEwuen as Rootstown led 28-0 at the end of 12 minutes. Mullaly (6-of-10 passing, 130 yards, two touchdowns) also had a 59-yard TD pass to Mason Lisi and Grayson Rantilla added a 13-yard TD run.
The Rovers defense impressed as well, holding the Hurricanes to just 142 yards of total offense.

Crestwood 44, Beachwood 6
Behind Wyatt Januska’s massive first quarter, the Red Devils picked up their first win in dominant fashion.
Januska had three touchdown runs, all for double-digit yardage, and a 48-yard TD catch — just in the first quarter.
Michael Kalista, who tossed that touchdown pass to Januska, completed all seven of his passes for 160 yards and a touchdown.
Bobby Bradley and Jake Eyerman led the way defensively with two tackles for loss apiece. James Lancaster, who had Crestwood’s first touchdown of the night on a 5-yard run, added a sack, as did Chris Mory.
Mogadore 28, Malvern 14
Conner Lehner and Maddox Smith helped the Wildcats rally from a 14-0 deficit against the Hornets, not to mention last week’s loss at Dalton.

Smith broke the tie with a 2-yard touchdown run.
Streetsboro 48, Coventry 6
Janiere Cook turning 16 carries into an absurd 318 yards and four touchdowns to help the Rockets bounce back from a Week 3 loss.
