Congratulations to Ann Hamker for being the recipient of this year's Distinguished Service Award for her dedicated service to Elyria's Athletes as Elyria High's trainer. Ann and Laura Breese do a top notch job serving Elyria's Athletes.

In the 100 years of Lorain-Elyria football battles, only four ended in a tie -- the last being 1974 when the two tied 8-8 to finish with idendical 4-2-1 records in the Buckeye Conference -- tying for third place in the conference behind Sandusky and Fremont. Here's Rick Underman, later an ...Elyria Sports Hall of Famer, Michigan State and Bowling Green -- runs for 38 yards -- the longest play from scrimmage for Elyria.

Talking about the Elyria-Lorain rivalry. It started in 1894 (130 years ago) when Elyria won, 22-6. It lasted 100 years before the original Lorain High closed its door in 1994. At that time, Lorain had the edge, 53-43 with four ties. It resumed when the new Lorain High opened in 2014. Lorain leads ...the new series 5-4, having won last year, 31-12. There was no game played in 2020 when Lorain cancelled football. Looking forward to another addition this Saturday at Ely Stadium (1 pm).
