Wayne Train starts slow, finishes fast
This season, the Wayne Train has scored 14 or more in every 1st quarter this season. So when it was 7-7 early into the 2nd quarter in week 1 in the Playoffs, there was some whispers about, Could Reynoldsburg pull off the upset?
No Chance.
Wayne (11-0) went on to outscore Reynoldsburg (7-4) 49-10 in less than 3 quarters as the Warriors cruised 56-17 at Heidkamp Stadium Saturday night.
Michigan St. Starting QB in-waiting Messiah DeWeaver threw 4 TD'S and showed why Spartans fans are already waiting on his arrival via Twitter.
3 of those TDs were caught by 6'7 Super Soph L'Christian "Blue" Smith, who is rising up the National Hype Train faster than any kid in Ohio High School since LeBron James. He has caught the eye of the Ohio State Buckeyes already. The other TD was snatched by dynamic WR Matt Wilcox Jr, who is coveted by the entire MAC conference, and now some bigger D-1s are showing interest.
The D was rock solid after the first score, and the 12th man was in full effect, with tailgating and fandom like no other for High School Football.
Up next for the Wayne Train?
The Boro' @ (Centerville HS) in a GWOC showdown.
Trotwood routs Celina behind Hargrove
Celina came out and battled early, but once Trotwood shook off the jitters and adjusted, it was no turning back. Celina had some early opportunities to change the flow of the game, but when they didn't take advantage of a couple of turnovers like they should have?
Trotwood Star RB Ravieon Hargrove ran for multiple TDs and the Rams cruised in the second half to a easy victory.
Celina cut the lead to 4 early in the 3rd quarter, but never got closer than that after a 18- yard Hargrove TD midway through the 3rd Quarter.
The Rams D tightened up and shut down Celina while the Rams scored the last 26 points of the game.
Belmont falls to Wapakoneta as star injured
The Bison, finally in the playoffs after 37 years, started out the game fast @ Wapakoneta, and did whatever they wanted for most of the 1st quarter. But Star RB Davion Lankford suffered a concussion on a run late in the quarter, and the tide turned from there, as Wapakoneta coach even admitted himself.
Lankford had broken runs of 50+ and 40+ before the injury. He looked completely unstoppable.
Some felt Wapakoneta played a little too physical, almost dirty, as multiple Belmont players went down during the game.
Belmont was ahead 14-7 before Wapak took control and outscored them 37- 8 for the rest of the game, going on a 30-0 run during the game.
Belmont had their best season in 37 years & the coaches feel like they will be back next season. Elijah Malcolm scored two TDs for the Bison. Belmont fought hard but was a little undermanned and now understands what playoff football is all about.
Great season nevertheless for the Belmont Bison.
The Boro' avenges loss @ Mason, 42-21; faces Wayne next
Springboro pulled off a huge win @ Mason to move to the next round. Mason defeated Springboro earlier in the season, and that actually played into the Panthers advantage.
Elijah Cunningham threw for 4 TDs, was razor sharp, & In control for most of the game as the Boro got some get back, @ Mason to ice the cake.
Now can they do that to a Wayne team who will be playing at its highest level ever?
Well find out this weekend.
Miamisburg loses in epic finale to Lima Sr 44-42
The Burg had been no stranger to late game heriocs, and it looked as if we'd see another one from the Vikings. But Lima Sr. stuffed the Burg' on the 2-pt conversion and Lima Sr. wind a wild one 44-42 in the last game at Harmon Field.
With maybe the greatest single game rushing performance in Miamisburg history on display with
Sophomore Tony Clark.
Clark ran a whopping 53 times for 249 and was - in one word - amazing.
But not quite amazing enough to get through the Lima D Line, that made the play, one of the few on Clark.
Coach Steve Channell knows that one will be a tough one to forget, but loved the effort and season his boys pulled off.
