Hudson took a 20-point lead into halftime Friday, Nov. 6, and kept control after the break to beat Massillon Jackson 44–14 in an Ohio Division I, Region 1 quarterfinal. The fifth-seeded Explorers had also won at Jackson in Week 2.
The Polar Bears opened the second half down 34–14. Hudson forced a turnover on downs and drove 73 yards in nine plays, with Reno Ferri scoring from 7 yards out to make it 41–14.
The Explorers recovered the ensuing squib kick after it hit a Jackson player. Another Ferri run set up Xavier Pallo’s 22-yard field goal, which put the game on a running clock late in the third quarter. Jackson, the Federal League champion, had won seven straight coming into the rematch.
