If Ravenna fans thought that their Ravens were in for an easy night against Streetsboro on Friday, they were sadly mistaken.
The Rockets (0-2) gave the Ravens (1-1) all they could handle. At the 5:20 mark of the final period, the Rockets led 22-21.
But the Ravens put on a late scoring spurt, as seniors Parnell Taylor and Zach Thomas scored touchdowns in the final three-plus minutes to give Ravenna a 35-22 victory at Ravenna Stadium.
Taylor scored on a 36-yard screen pass from quarterback Thomas at 3:08. Then after an interception by Colton Collage, Thomas pushed the ball across from the 1 to give the Ravens some breathing room.

From the opening kickoff, the Ravenna Ravens were in trouble against Louisville in the 2009 season opener at Ravenna Stadium.
Ravenna received the opening kickoff and promptly fumbled the ball, but kept possession on its own 3-yard line. It was a preamble to the rest of the first half as the Ravens trailed 16-0 at the intermission.
The game was eventually called because of lightning with 1:11 left on the clock, and the Panthers went home with a 28-0 victory. It was a joyous occasion for the 1,500 fans that followed perennial state power Louisville 22 miles to Ravenna.

Ravenna made the playoffs as the No. 6 seed in Region 9 of Division III last year (lost to Hubbard on the road in the first round) and it moves up to D-II this season. The Ravens have now made the playoffs two consecutive seasons and three times in school history.
“We have a really good junior class of kids that really helped us out playing as sophomores last year,” head coach Jim Lunardi said. “Last year, we really weren’t sure if we were going to make it back to the playoffs – we were hoping to obviously – but that sophomore class really helped bridge that gap.”
“(D.J.) Jones scored 42 touchdowns in freshman ball and played some varsity and Ohio State has called about him. He is a just a hard runner and has motor that goes. I might have made the mistake of not moving him up (to varsity) early enough but he definitely is a good football player.”
If it sounds like Lunardi is optimistic about the upcoming season, you don’t need to get your hearing checked.
“I feel good in the sense that we had a really good off-season,” Lunardi said. “Time will tell what happens and we’ll take one day at a time, but according to our off-season, it was the best that we’ve ever had. If that is any indication, then hopefully we can at least compete for the league and make it back into the playoffs and make a run for it."
Ravenna won the Portage Trail Conference championship in 2007 and placed second last year. The Ravens turned the ball over seven times in a 19-12 loss at Kent Roosevelt in what amounted to the league title game.
