Sandusky 27, Shelby 21
After last week’s whipping at the hands of Norwalk on the Truckers home field, Sandusky needed to rebound to have any chance of repeating as Northern Ohio League champions. It also needed a shot in the arm before facing two of the leagues's toughest teams in the final two weeks of the season.

Fuller led the Blue Streaks with 76 yards rushing.
