Hargrove decommits from Bowling Green

Raveion Hargrove, the star RB from Trotwood who is obliterating the defenders and the record books, has decommitted from Bowling Green sources say.

Hargrove, one of the very best RB's in the country, committed to the Falcons a while ago, but after consulting with family and sources, he has decided to reopen the recruitment.

Could it be possible that Hargrove could be headed to a bigger program?

Hargrove currently is the star player for the best team in Ohio in the Trotwood Rams, who sit at #1 in the OHSAA D-2 Polls.
Despite his height, Hargrove, is a complete back who can do it all, and boasts the type of talent NFL teams will look at, no matter where he goes to college.

Will be interesting to see which Big 10 or SEC school will look to snag the 5-star recruit.

Belmont wins in OT, moves to 5-1; Jefferson cruises

10 minutes after the game between Ponitz & Belmont, Bison Coach Earl White face said it all in one word:

Lankford clutch sack in OT

RELIEF

    After another dramatic encounter, their 5th straight win, and the Bison faithful rooting to no end? What more was there to say?

  The Bison escaped from the Golden Panthers grasp in OT as two-way star Davion Lankford scored a TD, a 2-pt conversion & got a key sack to help Belmont upend Ponitz 30-22.
   It wasn't easy to say the least, but this Bison team will not fold, as you have seen in the last three weeks.
With Belmont nursing a 22-6 lead in the 4th, Ponitz engineered two straight TD drives - with the second drive covering 85 yards within the last two minutes; The Panthers also got the 2-pt conversion, with less than 15 seconds left. It was great execution by the Panthers, and you felt a sense of "the upset bug" in the air.

  Belmont received the ball first in OT, and Lankford scored the TD and the 2-pt conversion.
    Ponitz also scored on the first play from scimmage, but a offensive penalty negated the play, and the Bison D took over.

   Belmont knows that in order to get to the playoffs, they will have to play harder and finish better.

But hey, at least the Bison are thinkin' playoffs.
For the first time in a long time.
Salute the Bison.




Jefferson gets big W 

Jefferson grabbed a much needed victory last night
as they defeated Hillcrest 24-14.

Belmont sets records on Cincinnati Aiken 72-48; star RB hurt; Ponitz loses late

When Belmont lost the first game of the season to Hamilton (who is notably ranked 21 in the state in their division), it was a thought that this will be the same Belmont team that we seen over the last 40 years.

Bison's historic RB trio, coach 

Coach Earl White & Principal after the game 

Not so much.
 The Bison have rolled off three straight wins - all in convincing fashion, and none with more of a statement then the 72 - 48 thrashing of Cincinnati Aiken @ Welcome Stadium. Star running back Davion Lankford racked up 4 TDs & 200 yards before the arm injury, but the game was well in hand. Even after that the team ran for four more TDs en route to one of the highest scoring performance in the teams history. Belmont now sits at 3-1 & Coach Earl White have the Bison eyeing a playoff berth for the first time in decades.

Ponitz loses to Woodward

Pointz fought hard but came up short 32-20 @  Cincinnati Woodward.  Ponitz now falls to 1-3.
