After last night's 31-point beatdown of the Toronto Raptors, the Cleveland Cavaliers just keep on rolling, and it doesn't appear to end very soon.

Josh Weir from the Canton Repository took in Game 1, and he joined Sammy B to talk about the game and if the Raptors have enough firepower to make it a series.

Weir says that LeBron James at 31 years of age is looking quite good and with these short series and blowout wins, it helps him rest and aids his basketball future.

"This is how they have to play to really maximize his career," he says. "With the balance they're playing with right now it's beautiful for the Cavs and really, really good long-term for LeBron."

The Cavaliers and Raptors will play Thursday night at the Q at 8:30pm. You can catch the action on 1590 WAKR.

The Wine and Gold only made 7 threes in Game 1, but there's something to be said of how those big dunks can swing momentum for the Cavs.

"You just can't do what they did last night, the Cavs will just eat them alive, you can't guard LeBron one-on-one."

It seemed like just yesterday Sam Bourquin and the Akron Beacon Journal's Michael Beaven were talking about summer scrimmages, now for tonight, it's week 10 of the high school football season.

Beaven joined Sammy B on a "Feel Good Friday" to talk about the Week 10 matchups, as well as some of the teams fighting for a playoff berth.

One of the key AkronCity Series games  will be Ellet, led by coach Joe Yost, against the Bob Sax-coached Garfield Golden Rams.

"Jataris Grant is one of the key players for Garfield," Beaven said. "He's a good athlete,  and he's good in the open field."

 Other teams looking to impress this season in Week 10 before the playoffs include Mogadore, Stow, Hoban, and Buchtel.

There are currently four undefeated teams in the Akron area, with Stow, Hoban Buckeye, and Woodridge all unblemished.

For Stark County, Josh Wier of the Canton Repository says that the Perry GlenOak matchup ought to be a good one, in addition to the "War of 1894" between Massillon and McKinley.

"That game can go either way for sure," Wier said of the battle between the Tigers and the Bulldogs.
