CVC Shake-Up: New Teams, Big Rivalries | Cleveland News

The Chagrin Valley Conference just got a whole lot more competitive as three Western Reserve teams—Chardon, Eastlake North, and Willoughby South—jump in, mixing with powerhouses like Kirtland and Perry. This season’s slate is packed with must-watch games: Kirtland vs. Perry on Sept. 4 (a classic), Cuyahoga Heights vs. Wickliffe on Oct. 2 (Metro Division showdown), and the heated rivalry between Willoughby South and Eastlake North on Oct. 16. Keep an eye on Perry’s Traxton Richards, who could dominate as a returner, RB, or QB, and Kirtland’s Zander Perko, the standout linebacker from last year’s state title run. Perry leads the pack in the Chagrin Division, while Kirtland remains the Valley favorite thanks to its elite defense anchored by Perko and safety Sebastian Becker—and a returning offensive line. With new blood and seasoned contenders, this conference is shaping up to be one of the toughest in the state. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
