Marvon Greenlee knows that you never get a second chance to make a first impression. So that’s why he started Friday night’s playoff game in Ohio with a sensational kickoff return.
Greenlee, a senior defensive back for Central Catholic (Toledo, Ohio), started Friday night’s state semifinal game with an 89-yard return of the opening kickoff. It was the opening salvo of a 35-7 win by Central Catholic over Chardon (Chardon, Ohio).
This week, Greenlee was one of 13 Central Catholic players named to the All-Northwest District Division III squad. Greenlee was first-team as a defensive back.
His kickoff return certainly set the tone for Central Catholic. It was a stunning mix of athleticism and speed as he was barely touched on his way into the endzone.
Greenlee never broke his stride.
INCREDIBLE START TO THE STATE SEMIFINAL. 🤯
