The Firestone football team ended 21 years of frustration Saturday by defeating their West Akron rival Buchtel 27-26.
The Falcons improved to 6-2 overall and 5-0 in the City Series under coach Tim Flossie. Buchtel drops to 1-7, 1-3 under coach Ricky Powers.
The Falcons held a 27-12 lead in the third quarter and held onto win despite a valiant Buchtel rally.
Senior Trevor Kennedy led the Falcons with two rushing touchdowns and a passing touchdown to senior Alex Paul. Kennedy completed 8-of-9 passes for 82 yards, and rushed for 70 yards on 10 carries.
Firestone senior Darshawn Thomas rushed for a touchdown and gained 76 yards on 21 carries.
Buchtel was led by senior Johnny Adams, who had an 84-yard touchdown reception and finished with 160 yards receiving on six catches. Griffins junior Tahj Dent passed for 218 yards and sophomore Johnathan Coleman rushed for two touchdowns.
