Columbia falls in District Semi-Finals

Columbia's magical season has come to crashing finish as the Patrick Henry Patriots throttle the Raiders 56-15 at Don Paul Stadium in Fremont, Ohio in a Division V Region 18 Semifinal. You can listen to the replay online.

Patrick Henry scored early. Taking the opening kickoff, the Patriots drove 80 yards in six plays capped by senior quarterback Gabe Jones 7-yard touchdown run. The subsequent kickoff bounced off a Columbia player before Patrick Henry's Brandon Cole recovered. The Patriots struck again on the next play when Jones found Josh Petersen for a 37-yard touchdown pass.

Down 13-0 with 9:31 left in the first quarter and Columbia hasn't run a play from scrimmage.

Columbia's Jay Banyasz runs past the competition

@_CHSFootball play the first Week 12 game in school history tomorrow and @JBanyasz8 has played a big role in making that happen.

It's been a special year for the Raiders, after losing the first game of the season 20-14 to Cleveland Central Catholic, Columbia has now won 10 straight which is the most in school history. 

Particularly the last three weeks have been special: (1) a dominating 35-7 victory against Fairview, (2) a 51-25 win at Clearview to clinch the Patriot Athletic Conference Stripes Division and (3) a 39-34 triumph in the first ever home play-off game in school history.
