One of the biggest suprises of last year was Middletown getting the top seed in region 4. Middletown went 10-0 in the regular season but was upset by Wayne in the first round of the playoffs. Middletown will get there shot at redemption versus Wayne, saturday at Welcome Stadium. In order for the Middies to beat Wayne junior quarterback Jalin Marshall will need to be on. Last year versus Wayne, Marshall was held to 21 rushing yards and two fumbles, his worst performance of the year. Though the playoff performance was not what the rest of his season was like. He rushed for over 1400 yards and 17 touchdowns and threw another 12, including a game where he rushed for 308 yards. Middletown faces a much tougher schedule this year facing Winton Woods, Colerain, Wayne, and Troy. These challenges should build Marshall and the Middies into a true playoff team and hope for a deeper run than last years one and done.
