Week 4 of the high school football season got underway last night and I had the opportunity to travel to an early 5pm football game at University School, and then a night game at Beachwood High School to watch the Bison take on Grand Valley.
Here are some of the highlights from University vs. Richmond Heights and Grand Valley vs. Beachwood as well as a recap and updates of high school football games around the Northeast Ohio area last night.
