GV Seniors!
It's all on the line when Grand Valley hosts Pymatuning Valley on Friday at Reel Family Stadium.
This one is for the outright Northeast Athletic Conference title. This one is for a berth in the Division IV playoffs. But maybe more than anything, this one is for pride.
Mustang Pride.
Grand Valley enters the game with a 7-2 overall record and spotless 4-0 record in the NAC. PV comes in with a 4-5 mark overall and is 3-1 in NAC play. The Lakers are already mathematically eliminated from postseason play.
The Grand Valley-Pymatuning Valley history is a rich one, perhaps the most fierce rivalry in Ashtabula County. For decades, the schools battled for the coveted Valley Trophy. Whoever won three in a row retired that trophy and kept it for good.
The teams have changed conferences over the years and haven't always played each other as they bounced around from the Grand River Conference, East Suburban Conference, Northeastern Conference, Chagrin Valley Conference to the current home in the Northeast Athletic Conference. But the ferocity of the game has never waned.
Since the turn of the century, Grand Valley holds a 14-8 advantage. But Pymatuning Valley has won four of the last five, including a 38-0 victory last year in Andover.
But all that matters now is THIS one... in OUR house... with EVERYTHING on the line.
A full house is a tough hand to beat playing cards. You know where else a full house is tough to beat? In football - so let's fill the house TONIGHT, beat Pymatuning Valley and so we can hang another conference championship banner and head into the playoffs on a high note.
See you tonight at Reel Family Stadium!

GV football coach Matt Rosati wins his 200th career game
ORWELL - Matt Rosati still remembers the heartbreak he experienced back in 1985 when he was a senior at Ledgemont.
Arriving home at his family's farm in Montville, he found out his parents - Ron and Suzanne - had sold the herd of cows just so they'd be able to afford to send him to college.
"My parents... we didn't have much," Rosati said in a 2016 News-Herald article. "For me to go to college, they sold our cattle. Sold them all. I didn't even know they were doing it. Just came home one day and they were gone."
He vowed that day to be the best teacher and coach he could be, because his parents gave up everything for him to follow his dream.
Ron and Suzanne Rosati have both passed away, one in 2022 and the other in 2024, but their little boy has kept his promise. And with Grand Valley's 55-15 win over Vienna Mathews on Friday, Rosati won his 200th career game. The win puts the Mustangs' record at 7-2 (4-0 in the NAC) heading into next week's rivalry game against Pymatuning Valley. A win would also clinch the outright NAC title.
"I tell ya what, this is definitely something I've been striving for. It motivates me," Rosati said of the 200-win plateau. "I'm so very proud of these kids. We're playing really well right now. I'm proud of where we're at. I can't say enough about these kids. I enjoy working with them every day. ... PV is a very big game for us. They beat us up pretty good this year. We're going to be ready."
Rosati led Perry to 111 victories and West Geauga to 77 victories. Grand Valley went 5-5 last year in Rosati's first season and are 7-2 this year.
"A lot of great teams, great players and great coaches I've worked with," Rosati said. "That has put the whole picture together for me. I've always prided myself on being a great educator first. Coaching is just a part of it. I've been fortunate enough to do it at three great schools. I'm very, very fortunate."
Grand Valley took control early against Mathews and was never seriously threatened. Caden Rowland, Tony Williams and Lukah Mramor all scored a pair of touchdowns to lead the Mustangs' effort. When the game was over, he was presented with a commemorative game ball from the Grand Valley Gridiron Club. Additionally, he picked up a pebble from Mathews and
Rosati still remembers his first win - a 26-0 West Geauga win over Wickliffe on Sept. 6, 1996. No. 200 will forever be a memory, as will No. 201 should the Mustangs defeat the Lakers next Friday.
After the game, Rosati picked up a pebble from Mathews and placed it in a bag of memories he carries with him. The bag also includes a silver coin his father gave to him, a St. Christopher medal from his mother, dirt from the gravesite of his longtime friend Timmy, a toenail from his childhood dog who died, and blades of grass from big games his teams have won over the years.
"I also have a piece of paper in there that Coach (Jim) Henson gave to me when I took this job," Rosati said. "200 wins is big, but you know, this is all I ever wanted to do. My parents gave up everything so I could do this so I'm going to do it as long as I can.
Congratulations to our Head Football Coach Matt Rosati on his 200th victory!
