Here's the Top Headlines and Weekly Recap for Week 3 in the football landscape in the Miami Valley:
Dunbar, Belmont open City League Action Tonight; Trotwood Set for Saturday
The Belmont Bison will open up their 5-year City League championship run tonight against their nemesis, the Dunbar Wolverines, at Welcome Stadium tonight. The teams, who found out they could play 2 weeks ago, will square off at 7pmET.
Belmont, who are led by Coach Earl White, have a trio of seniors who will try to lead the way in Tavon Hardwick, Joddi Burton, and Kiko Garcia. Dunbar, who has a loaded team, will lean on the likes of Jamar Payton and Gregory Packnett Jr as new head coach James Lacking takes over the helm.
While Dunbar knows they have the talent across the board to win, can they match wits with one of the the top coach coaches in DPS history?
Trotwood will take on Ponitz on Saturday afternoon as they prepare to defend their 3rd championship they won last season. The Rams chances at playing were also reversed a couple weeks ago, when the Trotwood Board voted to bring high school sports back, starting in the fall.
Big Plays, defense help Undefeated Springfield past Fairmont
After a Fairmont TD to tie the game at 7, Springfield would go on a 20-0 run to take control of the game and defeat Fairmont 27-21. While Fairmont dominated the ball, Springfield made all the plays to seize the momentum early. Tae'Sean Smoot, the All-State Candidate, threw for a TD and ran for another TD as the Cats move to 3-0 in the season.
Wayne stops Elks despite Harrisons big Game
After watching Chase Harrison put on a exhibition for almost 3 quarters, Wayne QB Cam Fancher had seen enough. Centerville had pulled out to a 23-14 lead late in the 3rd, and it was looking as if the Elks would push towards a victory. Harrison, a junior D-1 prospect, had thrown his 3rd TD, and seemed to be in complete control.
Fancher, the Georgia State commit who was having a average game at best until then, showed why he's one of the best QBs in Ohio as he directed the Warriors on two huge game salvaging drives, and the Warriors rallied to defeat Centerville 28-23.
Fancher showed his clutch gene and why Wayne has a chance to go deep in the playoffs, by completing a 35-yard pass to Bryan Kinley with 15 seconds left. With the win Wayne moves to 2-1 while Centerville drops to 1-2.
Stebbins Outlasts Xenia to start 3-0
Last year Stebbins got blown out against the Miami Valley League champions. This season, they took the reeling champs best shot, as Xenia jumped out to a 16-3 lead. But Player of the Year Candidate and Indians QB Nate Keller lead the troops back as he threw 2 TD passes to WR Dalton King, and rising RB Marvelous Rutledge finished off the Bucs with a late TD to give Stebbins a big win 26-23. Stebbins moves to 3-0 for the first time in decades. Meanwhile, Xenia drops to 0-3.
Rice, Allen lead Bolts to a easy win over Beavers
Caden Rice and Markus Allen and the Northmont team was too much for Beavercreek to handle, as the Bolts improve to 3-0 after a big win. The former Michigan commit, WR Markus Allen, went 4 for 95 with a TD while Rice threw 3 TDs in the 42-8 rout.
Alter comes out strong to get 1st W on season
Alter smacked Middletown Fenwick to get their first win on the season as the Knights now move to 1-2 on the early season. Which Alter team will we see in the next 3 games?
Bellbrook topples Valley View in SWBL Game of the Week
Bellbrook was able to use a Seth Borondy TD run in OT to stop the Spartans by a score of 28-21 as two of the best in the SWBL squared off. After Valley View tied it on a Ben Owens run to force OT. Bellbrook moves to 3-0 while Valley View falls to 2-1.
C-J falls again
The Eagles lost to Hamilton Badin as Chaminade falls to 1-2 on the season after what looked like a good start. They had no rhythm against a strong Badin defense, and now will look to get on track in 2nd portion of the season.
