With Week 1 of HS Football in the books, we are now looking at Week 2 as we check out the
Top Games in Week 2:
(1) Springfield @ Centerville (🏈🔥👀 Meter: 5 of 5)
In the DHSS Game of The Week, which highly touted Junior QB will lead his team to a 2-0 record? Chase Harrison (Centerville) or Tae'Sean Smoot (Springfield)? Both QBs are headed to big time D-1 schools, but the key will be the defense, as Springfield looks top notch early in the season. How will Elks D respond tonight to one of the best QBs in Ohio?
(2) Miamisburg @ Wayne (🏈🔥👀 Meter: 4.5 of 5)
Can the Wayne Train get on track against a charged up Vikings team? Miamisburg handled business against Beavercreek but can they stop a angry Wayne squad? The Warriors missed on a couple of opportunities that cost them a chance last week.
Look for a offensive breakout from the Warriors in Huber Heights.
(3) Sidney @ Stebbins (🏈🔥👀 Meter: 4.0 of 5)
Sidney blasted Greenville in the first game, but they will be taking on a tough Stebbins team who pulled off a big comeback, led by Senior RB Marvaleous Rutledge 2 TSs and 100+ yards rushing.
But it was the defense that stepped up for the Indians holding Pirates scoreless late and hitting hard throughout the game.
How good is Sidney?
(4) West Carrollton @ Fairborn (🏈👀🔥 Meter: 4 of 5)
In a game that will be a fun one to watch, which West Carrollton team will be in Fairborn tonight? The 1st half team that dominated behind the likes of Kamury Cleveland? Or the 2nd half one that gave up the lead? Fairborn will look to ground and pound its way to a 2-0 season, led by a two-headed running game that was efficient enough to knock off the Miami Valley League champions in Xenia.
(5) Carroll @ C-J (🏈🔥👀 Meter: 4 of 5)
In a GCL rivalry, that usually hits hard, can C-J move to 2-0 against a Patriots team that gives the Eagles a hard time? Are the Eagles the real deal?
(6) Badin @Alter (🏈🔥👀 Meter: 4.5 of 5)
The Knights make their debut at home this week, after losing a shootout at Clinton-Massie; How good is this Alter team? We will find out more tonight. Look for big numbers from the running game tonight against a Badin team that was good last season.
(7) Franklin @ Bellbrook (🏈🔥👀 Meter: 3.5 of 5)
Can Franklin travel to Eagle country and go 2-0? Bellbrook came out with fire in their eyes last week. Can they keep it up against one of the favorites in the SWBL in the Wildcats?
(8) Fairmont @ Northmont (🏈🔥👀 Meter: 4 of 5)
While we don't want to ride the hype train, but make a note: Northmont went from a Organization that was the average last year, and in pure dissaray to a team who could possibly win a GWOC title? They added a top transfer QB to with elite baller and Michigan commit Marcus Allen and now what? Look for a focused Fairmont team tonight after letting one slip away last week. Should be a close one.
(9) Valley View @ Monroe (🏈🔥👀 Meter: 4 of 5)
The Spartans picked up where they left off last season- pummeling teams in the SWBL - as they won easily last week. Can Monroe stand up to the challenge?
The Spartans are favorites to win the SWBL, even in the shortened season.
Ram Nation Back in Fall Sports; Good or Bad Move?
After a Meeting Held in Trotwood by the Trotwood Board and some Officials, it has been reported that the Rams will try to start their fall season. After initially being one of the first Disticts to shut down due to the Covid-19 crisis, it initially was applauded and it was seem that the Rams and the rest of high school sports would wait until 2021.
However things have changed in the last 2 months, and the energy that was against sports during this time, has shifted towards sports coming back into the normal phase. This is still a problem as Covid-19 has risen with colleges and schools letting kids back into classrooms. But make no mistake: Sports is a welcome necessity for most.
With the Lumpkin brothers speaking on some issues earlier in the week, the Rams were one of the last schools to allow sports to come back. The good thing is that the Rams made it back in time to be able to compete in the OHSAA Tournament.
"These kids deserve a chance to compete for a chance to better their future," John Lumpkin stated. All of our younger kids are playing at C-J and other programs due to us being shut down. Do you think they are not trying to get those kids to stay?"
Trotwood will resume practices this upcoming week.
Low Cases Provide Hope During Covid-19 Season
The biggest key for sports to continue is for a low percentages on the weekly cases of the Covid-19 outbreak among teams. While there haven't been hardly any reported cases, this next week or two will tell the story of if the season is to continue. If there aren't many cases in the nexr week or two, that could be enough to propel the different districts to realizing that there can be organized sports during this pandemic.
While last week people were on pins and needles, it was also a sense of normalcy.
How will it feel tonight in Week 2 All over the Miami Valley?
