Cuyahoga football’s impact players

Third-year coach Kevin Pask said Gavanni Tuttle will be the player Falls relies on most from the safety spot. "We really want to put him in good positions this year," Pask said. "He had more than 100 tackles as a safety and eight of those were tackles for loss, which from 10 yards away is crazy. That's a credit to his explosiveness."… On offense, Falls will have four of its five starting linemen back. The core of guard Vincent Lambis, center Cyrus Fortman, right tackle Jermaine Hampton and left tackle Uly Scribner will form a base as Falls integrates a new backfield. … "They've had some time to mesh, which has been helpful with the transition to the new offense," Pask said.

What's new with Cuyahoga Falls football in 2025

"We've got a lot new," Pask said. "I was able to get Terry Brown to come back after he had spent some time out west to be our offensive coordinator. He's bringing a bit of that West Coast offense too, which is going to change things up. We will have mostly new offense and new defensive staff as well." … Perhaps the biggest change for Falls football could be a chance to play in its new stadium at the new Cuyahoga Falls High School before the new school opens this winter. … Falls has yet to get the go-ahead to play in the new stadium, but hopes to have permission by the latter half of the season. … "The kids are excited," Pask said. "They like new and flashy stuff, and that new stadium looks great. We have a plan for it, but there's still some up-in-the-airness to it. I love Clifford Stadium and everything about it, but it's definitely a way to build to the legacy here."

Cuyahoga Falls football’s outlook

Falls has won two games during each of Pask's first two seasons. He wants to improve that number, but said Falls' schedule strength remains rugged. … "I think we're a competitive team," he said. "I think we're getting more and more athletic every year, which is what you need to be to compete. Ultimately, it's going to come down to getting the ball in our athletes' hands." … This will be Falls' final year in the Suburban League American Conference before moving to the Metro Athletic Conference next fall. … "In our last year in the conference, one of my goals is to get a league win," Pask said. "I know it's a small thing, but it will show that our kids battled against very, very good teams."
