60 teams in 60 days: Springfield Catholic Central

Catholic Central's 2011 run was filled with senior leadership. A strong passing attack led by Brian Kelly who had 40 touchdowns and a defense that got the job done. Despite a team who passed much more then they ran, they will return there leading rusher Mitchell Grimone. Grimone rushed for just over 400 yards, and averaged 41.9 yards per game. Catholic Central will require another strong year in the passing game for a strong season once again.

60 teams in 60 days: Tri-County North

It was a team effort for Tri-County North last year. If you look at there stats, no single player stands out from the rest. Six different players scored a rushing touchdown last year, and three different players threw for a touchdown. On the defensive side of the ball, ten players had more then 40 tackles. Despite a tough loss in the first round of the playoffs last year, the Panthers team effort could come in handy again this year, especially in a region 24.

60 teams in 60 days: Ada Bulldogs

It's always hard to replace a quarterback who threw for 3345 yards and 44 touchdowns the season before. That is what Ada will be faced with, coming off of a 9-3 season. Ada's high powered attack last season was tough to stop. They scored over 50 points 5 times and one game over 60. On the bright side for the 2012 Ada Bulldogs they will return a strong defense and running back Kellen Decker who had 14 touchdowns last year.

60 teams in 60 days: Minster

Minster came one game away from state last year. The only thing that stopped them was a 28-0 loss to Marion Local in the region 24 title game. The Wildcats outscored there opponents last year 258-115 over the regular season. They were able to hold state wide powerhouse Delphos St. Johns to a single touchdown in a 7-0 loss. Head coach Nate Moore will enter his third season as Minster head coach. In just two seasons  Moore took a 1-9 Minster team to 5-5 and an 8 seed in the playoffs to 7-3 last year and one win away from state. If all goes as planned Minster will hope this year brings a state appearance and maybe even a title.
