The Shoremen started the second half quickly, as Pappas hit Toy with a 72-yard touchdown pass on the second play of the half to extend the lead to 34-14.
“Their corner was pressed on Carson, and their number one safety was up on our slot, Carson can beat a lot of press coverage, and I believe in him and I just put it up to him and he made the play,” Pappas said.
The Demons would not go away, as they Bialowas and the offense rallied, with their first score of the half being a touchdown pass to Rose to cut it to 34-21 with 7:43 left in the third quarter.
A Q’Darr Robinson one-yard plunge made it a 34-28 game, as the Demons continued to rally.

score on a nifty third down play from 13 yards out to make it 42-28 following the two-point play.
Bialowas and the Westlake offense again responded, with a touchdown pass of 33 yards out to Robinson with 4:03 left to make it a 42-35 game.
The Demons went for the onside kick and recovered it, and quickly moved to the Avon Lake 22, when Bialowas threw a pass that was picked off by Sommers with 2:43 left.
The Shoremen used runs to set up a 4th-and-one, and instead of punting gave the ball to Nelson who gutted out three yards to seal the win for Avon Lake.
The Shoremen will be in action next Friday night against Lakewood at home. Westlake will host North Olmsted who fell to Avon Friday night.
Player of the Game: Avon Lake QB Mark Pappas had a big night, and was the offensive star for the Shoremen, throwing for 251 yards on 14-for-24 passing with three touchdowns.
“Our goal is to make the playoffs, and make some noise in the playoffs,” Pappas said. “The way we played against Avon last week that’s not going to happen.
“The message this week was we need to get better, and we need to make more plays, and we need to finish.”
The senior still isn’t sure where his future lies after this season, but he knows he wants to continue playing football somewhere on Saturday’s in 2017.
“I would love to play in college if the opportunity comes around,” Pappas said. The QB said that he’s gotten a few inquiries from a couple Division III and some Division II schools.
“I’d play anywhere, but I want to like the school first,” the QB said.
If the NFL isn’t in Pappas’ future?
“I would love to be a neurologist, but that’s a lot of schooling,” Pappas said. “Or maybe something in business, my sister is in business.”
