AVON, Ohio — Following last week’s upset loss in Florida to Spruce Creek, Avon returned home with no easy task of preparing for Glenville.

The Tarblooders, ranked atop the cleveland.com Northeast Ohio high school football Top 25 , have routinely made Week 3 trips to Avon with down-to-the-wire matchups.

Friday night looked no different, but a quick opening drive gave Avon the upper hand as it held off Glenville for a 28-16 win .

Avon, ranked fifth in the area, will open Southwestern Conference play on Friday next week. Glenville (2-1) will travel to Lakewood to take on No. 2 St. Edward (2-1).
