Week 6 Recap: Belmont rolls; Springfield still undefeated; Miamisburg falls;

Heres our Week 6 Recap / Headlines on what went down in the Miami Valley in the football field:


(1) Belmont steamrolls Dunbar as Reeves, Wagner, Sims step up
The Bison knew it was Head Coach Earl White birthday, so there was extra incentive to get a big victory for the coach.
And big victory it was as the Wolverines were no match for a pumped up Bison squad which jumped out early and often for a 54-12 blowout win in which QB Rian Reeves, RB Jayzon Wagner and DB Donovan Sims led the way.

 Wagner had a huge TD run (83 yards) while Reeves directed the Bison to a 46-0 lead at half. Sims, a all-state possibility and D-1 prospect, led the defense.

Belmont, still holding on to slim playoff hopes (2-4)
will be tested heavily this week.


(2) Springfield Stays undefeated after rolling past Xenia
Springfield was able to keep its mojo rolling with a complete effort in a 35-7 win  over Xenia.
The Cats were led by All-State QB Raheim Moss who threw 3 TD's on only 5 passes, a vicious ground game led by Tavion Smoot (114 yds) Jeff Toliver (83 yds, TD) and Michael Brown Stephens
who scored on the ground (82 yds, TD) and through the air (77 yard Rec TD).
The Defense was led by Kentucky recruit and All-Ohio DB Moses Douglas, who had 12 tackles and a receiving TD as well.
Sincere Wells led the Bucs with 66 yards rushing and a TD on the game.
Springfield improves to 6-0 while Xenia falls to 3-3.


(3) Miamisburg falls to Fairmont; blocked punt seals deal
Fairmont used a huge punt block to seize the momentum late in the game, and with a rushing TD ended the undefeated hopes of the Vikings to win 25-24 in Miamisburg on Friday night.
Miamisburg was up 24-13 after a Jon Jerkins rushing TD, when Fairmont scored to cut it to 24-20 early in the 4th.
After Miamisburg was held on downs late, Fairmont blocked a punt and scored in the final minutes of the game as Jesse DeGlow scored his 2nd TD of the game.
The win pushes Fairmont back into prime playoff position at 5-1, while Miamisburg falls to 5-1.


(4) Wayne keeps Elks winless as McKee takes over
The Wayne Warriors improved to 4-2 on the season with a easy win over Centerville. In a game that had been a big deal until this year, as Centerville has struggled mightily this season.
While the Elks kept it competitive, Wayne dominated in the 4th quarter to take control and win 35-21 in Centerville.
After a Chase Harrison TD pass (his 3rd of the game)  Wayne's Star QB Rashad McKee responded.
And he delivered big time.
McKee ran for 2 of his 3 rushing TD's in the 4th to send Wayne to 4-2 on the season.
He accounted for 234 total with 4 TD's, with his lone TD pass to Star receiver Steven Victoria.
Sophomore rising star and Defensive leader Jaden Hurd (DB) led the Warriors with 8 tackles on the night.
Centerville falls to 0-6.



(5) Trotwood offense clicks in big win over Pirates 
The Rams have been trying to find a game to get the offense rolling, and with the high scoring West Carrollton team in town?
Should be a shootout.
Only 1 problem.
Trotwood defense is one of the top defenses in Ohio, and the Pirates QB, had no answers for that stout defense.
Trotwood improved to 4-2 while West Carrollton falls to 1-5.


C-J holds off tough Roger Bacon team on road;Freshman QB steps up
The Eagles went to Roger Bacon without its Star QB, playing against a top team in the conference.
But it was no matter, as the Eagles scored late to defeat Roger Bacon 35-28 behind its freshman QB nonetheless.
The Eagles, #1 in the OHSAA state Poll, held off a tough opponent and stays undefeated in the process.


Meadowdale falls to Beechcroft
The Lions struggled offensively in the big matchup with Columbus Beechcroft as they fell 33-0.
 Meadowdale had came in on a 2 game winning streak but missed out on opportunities early, which sealed their fate. It was a game until the 3rd, when Beechcroft pulled away.
Meadowdale falls to 3-3 on the season.
While Lions Coach Brown was disappointed in the missed opportunities, he still relishes his team being in the playoff race.


Thurgood grabs first W on the season with big home win over Colinwood
The Thurgood Cougars had some close calls this season, but the Cougars would make no mistakes in the big win over Cleveland Collinwood on Saturday.
With 2 way Star DB/WR V'Sean Palmer leading the way, the Cougars blew by Collinwood 49-6 en route to their first win.
While Thurgood has been competitive most games, they were sharp in all 3 phases of the game as they move to 1-5 on the season.


Ponitz falls to Troy Christian
The Panthers lost to Troy Christian 47-26 as the Panthers gave up too many big plays and couldnt capitalize on some key opportunities in the 1st half.
With the loss, the Panthers fall to 0-6.
