It's the first rematch in the 35 years of our competitions. The teams are from Avon High School in Avon, Ohio, and Black River High School in Sullivan, Ohio, the school district of which extends from Medina county into Lorain County, making it eligible to become our Lorain County champion, an honor they deserve if they can beat the mighty Avon team.
Avon's team members are Aditya Rao, Jackson Cellura, and team Captain Mark Carney. For Black River the competitors are Josh Adkins, Stryker Charlton and team captain Nick Obarski. Both Carney and Obarski are former winners of the program's "Standout Scholar Award" which is presented each week to the team member, win or lose, who contributes the most to his or her team.
In the first round, Avon achieved the second-highest score of the season defeating Black River, but Black River lost with the highest losing score of the season, surpassing several of the winning scores and thereby earning a "wildcard" slot in the playoffs. Both teams defeated all of their opponents in the playoffs to arrive at the championship for a rematch. It's worth noting that in the first round, the one winning score higher than Avon's was that of Vermilion High School which lost to Black River in the quarterfinals!
Be sure to keep listening after the final score because there is a ten-minute interview with the winning team and their advisor following the program.
If Black River wins it will be its first Scholastic Games championship, rising to 13 the number of different schools that have won over the years. Avon has won four championships in past seasons, and if they win, the school will be added to the elite list of five-time winners, consisting of only Elyria High School, Olmsted Falls High School, and Lake Ridge Academy. This bout will be a part of the program's notable history either way!
