For the second straight year, Ohio owns bragging rights over Pennsylvania after a 18-15 come-from-behind victory in the Big 33 Classic in Hershey.

The Patriot-News reports that the Ohio stars captured the victory behind quarterback Mark Myers of St. Ignatius, who need only two plays to drive his team 70 yards for the winning score.

Quarterback Verlon Reed of Marion Franklin was named MVP of the Ohio squad, while Rich Gray of Woodland Hills was PA's Most Valuable Player.

The Ohio win knots the series at nine wins apiece.

If you live in-and-around Parma High School, you need to hire football players Patrick McDonough and Patrick Juhn to cut your lawn!

McDonough and Juhn have started All Around Lawncare to raise money to play high school football in the fall.
