Cuyahoga Falls’ football’s impact players

Earl is a four-year starter entering his second year as Falls quarterbac­k and will be the engine of the Black Tigers offense. … “We will probably go where he takes us,” said Pask. “He’s the guy that’s running it. He starting to understand those fundamenta­l areas of our offense.” … Lindsey returns after claiming Falls’ starting running back spot. … “He’s an explosive kid. There’s a few times I’d rather see him run away from defenders instead of running over them.” … Boyer will be the anchor of the Falls defense as a three-year starter at defensive end. … “I couldn’t ask for anything more from him in the weight room. I know were going to ask a lot of him on the field.”

What’s new in 2024 for Cuyahoga Falls football

The Black Tigers have two new coordinato­rs this season. Richie Brown joins Falls as defensive coordinato­r from Nordonia and brings with him a 4-3 multiple formation set. Adam Riegler has been promoted to offensive coordinato­r. He is in his second year with Falls after coming from Notre Dame College. … “Now that I have a DC, I can be there as the head coach more this season,” Pask said. “I trust my coaches and don’t have to be there for everything, so I can focus on the big picture.”

Cuyahoga Falls’ football’s outlook

After two wins last season, is Falls looking to reach .500 for the first time in years … “Our goal is to win today,” Pask said. “I’ve actually told my coaches, ‘If there is anyone thinking about Week 4 or 5, don’t worry about it.’” … With a senior class with several multi-year starters and growing numbers of underclass­men, Falls hopes to score its first win in the American Conference this fall.
