Mayfield at Chardon football: Preview capsule for Oct. 10 game
Oct 09, 2024
Mayfield at Chardon
What: Western Reserve Conference game
When: 7 p.m., Oct. 10
Where: Memorial Field
Records: Mayfield 3-4 (1-1 WRC), Chardon 4-2 (1-1 WRC)
Last week: Kenston def. Mayfield, 21-3, Chardon def. South, 52-0
For the record: The winner of this game keeps its foot in the door for a possible piece of the WRC title, while the loser is out of the league race and also takes a hit in the computer ratings/playoff picture. Chardon righted the ship last week against South after being shut down two weeks in a row against Bishop Watterson and Kenston. QB Drayton Allgood ran for 156 yards and two touchdowns in the win over South, while Caleb Hewitt ran for 73 and a score. But the key was Chardon’s defense, which shut out South, paced by Alexander Ash’s team-best eight stops. Mayfield QB A.J. Rogers has eclipsed the 1,000-yard passing mark this season, with Lantz Reed and JD Dinne his favorite targets. The Wildcats will look to get the passing game going this week while also trying to slow down Chardon’s ground attack.
