The Wadsworth Grizzlies are, at least, co-champs of the Suburban League by virtue of their 41-26 win over Brecksville-Broadview Heights Friday Night at Art Wright Stadium.

The Grizzlies are 9-0 overall on the season and 6-0 in the Suburban League. Stow-Munroe Falls and Hudson are both 5-1 in the League with one game left to play. Wadsworth plays at Hudson next Friday. If the Grizzlies win, they would be Suburban League by themselves.
