Avon football team to honor fallen teammate during state title game tonight
Avon will face Anderson tonight for the Division II state title at Tom Benson Hall of Fame Stadium in Canton. The Eagles’ historic state title run is motivated by the memory of former captain Jeremiah Kelly. Jeremiah led the Eagles to a 16–0 record and the school’s first-ever state championship last season.

It was later discovered he had hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, a condition that causes thickening of the heart muscle.
