Staff report
It looks like the Cardinal Mooney High School football team and its fans are going to sit out Black Friday celebrations.
That’s because they will be staging their own Burgundy and Gold party in the Division III state semifinals.
Friday, the Cardi-nals rallied from a 31-28 halftime deficit for a 70-44 victory over Dover at Canton’s Fawcett Stadium.
Roosevelt Griffin led the Cardinals with 233 yards rushing and three touchdowns.
Justus Ellis-Moore scored four touchdowns, and Anthony Dermotta returned an interception 41 yards for a touchdown.
Next up for Mooney will be a state semifinal against Chagrin Falls.
Crestview didn’t fare as well in Division V, losing to Kirtland 35-7 at Warren’s Mollenkopf Stadium.
The Rebels trailed only 14-0 at halftime, but the Hornets scored two touchdowns in the third quarter.

Actually, it's scarlet red and gold.
Edward Cardinal Mooney's cassock was scarlet red.
"dck"
This article was in regard to HS football, not idol worship & man-made fantasy like "cassocks" and the man-made "cardinal" cartoon fantasy.
The cardinals funny hats and a man-made book from (new testament) over a thousand years ago doesn't offer him nor you ANY connection to ANYTHING but insanity.
lol
There are no atheists in foxholes or on deathbeds.
Good grief, so much hate today. Can't you losers just say Congratulations. Come on their just kids, shame on your comments.
Superidiot, enjoy your man made hell.
Congrats to the Cardinal Mooney football team, and to Crestview for making it this far.
Let's get a rally for Western Reserve tonight as they face Shadyside!
Northeast Ohio football is what it's about, not what school you attended!
So much hate,why ? Congratulations Cardinal Mooney,hope you win state.
Public schools that have open enrollment are no different,than the private schools,get real people.I didn't go to Mooney,I went to a public school,I'm glad a local school is in the playoffs.
Go Cards! From the school on the North Side.
Good luck Girard and Western Reserve tonight.
I want titles in D3-D4-D6!!!
Typical of a catholic school ,who recruits like a college ,beating up a true little country school. How can Cardinal Mooney get any satisfaction from these wins and past state titles? Play the big schools all year then go beat up the little guys for state championships. Kind of meaningless championships, aren't they?
Congratz to the Cards!! Recruiting didn't beat Dover, lack of "D" and mistakes beat Dover. They had enough talent to beat Mooney, but didn't execute. Kudos to Crestview for a great season. Good luck tonight to Girard and WR on your quest to bring titles to the Valley. We all need to support our kids from the Valley no matter what school they attend.
Catholic schools recruit and public schools dont!?Are you serious or just bitter? That is silly!!!!
Who cares? The University of Mooney beats up another small school? Yawn.
You don't get bitter when some catholic school wins a small division championship. You just feel bad for the truly small country school who play with the kids who actually live in that small community. If Boardman or Fitch just beat Dover you'd say big deal. That's what most people say about Mooney winning. Big Deal. It has no real meaning when you play and beat such small division schools.

Our wars have not been about God but about greed power and the NWO not God. Our leaders are not Godly leaders.
Although I am not Catholic I am a Christian-Go cards!
Bigben you need a nap. Go lie down for awhile and clear your head. You sound ridiculous.

CONGRATS MOONEY WE STILL GOT IT.
Right on lonewolf.
Go Cards!
Ok now you have all '''vented''' can't we just get along and support our valley???
The same, sad, bitter people crawl out from under their rocks every year just about now. High school football playoff time! It's so sad. Look, the vast majority of public schools have open enrollment, if your school isn't getting the level of talent to compete with the top private schools, it's because the football programs at those schools simply don't attract the kids. Many of those players go to the school with the best programs. It's where the kids want to go.
