Week 5 wrap up

Barn Brawl
After falling behind 14-0 early the Middletown faithful who showed up were in shock and it looked like Colerain was going to run Middletown out of the state. But the Middies battled back and by half time it was 14-13 after Middletown missed a PAT. The second half became a defensive slug fest as neither team scored until Colerain got into the endzone with a couple minutes left to make there lead larger and seal the victory.

Second time not so lucky
St. Xaviers Bomber Nation was going nuts as they had just made an incredible comeback and tied arch rival Moeller 27-27. But thats when the whitles blew and Moeller had taken a timeout before the kick there fore it did not count. St. X kicker Nick Roemers second try was not so good, and The X comback came up short.

Panthers come up short
For a team that has been blown out by two top 10 nationaly ranked teams, Miami Central was like a sigh of relief. After a back and forth game of no team leading by more than 7. Emillio Nadelma put a 39 yard field goal thru the uprights with just 3 seconds left to break the hearts of Elder, who is now in deep trouble of not making the playoffs for the second year in a row.

GWOC shocks!
5 weeks thru the season and first place in the GWOC central is Beavercreek. The north is just as shocking with Butler atop the division with Trotwood and Troy. All three teams are yet to play. As for the usual powers Wayne and Northmont are not sure what has hit them after taking some tough losses and blowouts. Centerville has recovered fine but is still much weaker than and below expectations.

Middletown vs. Colerain GMC showdown

In a game that started with Colerain returning a fumble on Middletowns opening drive. Colerain quickly went up 14-0 after a touchdown on there next drive. Middie nation was in shock and appeared to be in trouble, but Jalin Marshall led Middletown back to a 13-14 game after a botched PAT snap by the Middies. After a scoreless third quarter both teams struggled to move the ball and the clock continued to run with out any score. Until Colerain scored with under 3 minutes left to put the Cardinals up 8. Middletowns following drive ended with a desperation toss getting intercepted and Colerain sealed the deal yet taking the front running in the GMC title race.

Week 4 wrap up

Unstopable?
Is there any team playing better football right now than the Trotwood Rams. Transfer Michael Simpson has been impressive in the passing game, and a Rams defense that has forced turnover after turnover. After the stomping of GWOC foe Wayne, Trotwood looks to be the team to beat in region 8 half way thru the season.

Trinity two peat
For the second week in a row Kentucky power Louisville Trinity defeated a GCL south school. This weeks victim was St. Xavier after beating Elder last week. Trinity has looked impressive in both wins and plays Moeller week 10, which is Cincinnati's last hope of beating the out of state foe.

Get ready for the other GCL
Probably one of the strongest years for the GCL central and north in awhile and maybe even ever. With Fenwick being very strong and Alter trying to reload there dynasty. Teams like Roger Bacon and McNicholas hope to spoil the shows and CJ's impressive 30-14 win over Bacon on friday shows that the once strugling team may have turned it around.

Dayton City League returning to the old days

A conference that produced NFL stars and college football all-americans has fallen off the radar and has been a laugher when there teams show up on schedules. The once highly prestigious league has lost its luster from kids leaving for the suburbs, but in recent years the conference has begun to improve. Currently the teams are a combined 10-5, with Belmont at 3-0 and Thurgood Marshall, Dunbar, and Ponitz are all 2-1. The speed is begining to stay in the city and has seen Thurgood Marshall become an impressive contender in the playoffs. With the fast growing Ponitz Panthers who have improved season by season continues to rise in enrollment numbers. With a Belmont team who has been very undervalued in the 2000's starting 3-0 makes for alot of excitment in Bison country. Although they may never get back to the level the City league once was, seeing the kind of football there playing now show people now adays a glimpse as to what the past was like

Week 3 wrap-up

Week 3 is in the books and conference play for most teams kicks off this week. But not before we summarize week 3.
Streak Over
A streak that started in the late 90's came to an end on friday as St. Xavier stunned Colerain, ending Colerains home win streak. The classic game was overshadowed in the end with Colerain's head coach yelling at the St. Xavier student section at the end of the game. Don't let that story overshadow what was possibly the game of the year.

Steam Rolled
The nightmare season continues for the Northmont Bolts. After there 63-12 loss to Moeller saturday, people in Clayton are worried about what GWOC play has in store for them. While down in Cincinnati, Elder is in shock as they were blown out on friday by Kentucky rival Louisville Trinity. The Panthers shouldn't be to concerned though as Trinity is one of the best in the nation and hopes are still high for a GCL south title, though anytime Elder is beat that bad people take the time to step back and wonder what happened

O Canada
Of the notable teams that played teams north of America, Wayne and Centerville got into the win category with blow out wins. Teams that continue to play Canadian teams, end up losing major playoff points in the end due to Canada's later season.

Going North
The GCL north has been split down the middle, with Fenwick and Alter both starting undefeated. But CJ and Carroll were able to pick up there first victories of the year. All the teams have big confidence going into GCL play and watch out for an exciting race.

Strength of Schedule hurts rather than helps

The Northmont Bolts have picked up a schedule that has been one of the toughest in the state over the past four seasons. Since dropping long time rival Chaminade Julienne after the 2007 season, partly because of CJ's division 3 status. Northmont  has picked up games with Moeller, St. Ignatius, and Colerain. Just to name the powerhouses, Northmonts schedule has slated potential playoff matchups that the Bolts hoped would pay off. But a recent playoff drought has left alot of people wondering if Northmont is in over there head. Since the 2008 season they are only 4-7 in non conference games, and hasn't made it to the playoffs since 2008. Playing in region 4 makes their loses hurt alot more. When you play in the toughest playoff region in not only the state but possibly the nation, 3 or even 2 loses greatly affect playoff chances. Things are not to late for the Bolts though, despite taking on a very good Moeller team this friday the tough copetition will get them ready for a tough GWOC central race. With Centerville and Wayne also at 0-2 noone has taken there front running for who wants to be crowned champion
