MEADOWDALE BLITZES HILLCREST 40-0, SHOWS THEY ARE NO JOKE;
SUMLIN,PEEBLES, HODGE MOVES LIONS TO 2-0
The Meadowdale Lions are back.
Meadowdale came into the season with renewed hope and confidence that they could get the Lions historic football program back roaring and revitalized.
While the coaching staff wasn't sure if would be this year, they banked on the experience they had, and the energy they would get from their young squad in return to help the process.
On Thursday night the Lions showed, that they are a different team than in the previous years, as the Earl White led Lions ran roughshod over Hillcrest 40-0 in non league action on Thursday night lights in Week 3 of OHSAA fall sports.
With a nice home crowd to support the Lions would strike early. QB Charles Sumlin Jr lead the Lions on scoring drives as the Lions imposed their will. Junior RB-WR Robert Peebles scored and did heavy damage like he did in week 1 while fabolous freshman Treyvon Hodge locked down on defense.
Sumlin and Peebles were the stars in the huge comeback win in Week 1 as well. Sumlin is a combo QB who can throw, run, and has the intelligence to lead as well while Peebles is a dynamic WR -RB Slot style player who is playing at a elite level right now.
With White calling the shots, Assistant coaches Doug Spears, Marvan Gordon, and the great coaching staff running the offense and defense, the Lions have changed the whole tone of the program.
Last week they were playing Butler before the lighting and rain struck. The game was postponed, but Butler decided not to reschedule the game. They played one series, in which the Lions went down the field on their 1st drive with no problems, but fumbled the ball in Butler territory.
Coincidence or just reality?
We're thinking reality, and the real is that teams won't be lining up to play these Lions for easy wins anymore.
Welcome back Meadowdale.
The Lions are currently the only team in the City with a win, so they have a real shot at winning the Dayton Public School league.
STEBBINS DOMINATES WEST CARROLLTON IN 2ND HALF AS KELLER, HOLLOWAY SHINE; NOW 3-0
The Stebbins Indians are 3-0 and they are a legit contender to win the Miami Valley League, after a big win over West Carrollton on Thursday night.
The dynamic duo of Nate Keller and Omar Holloway was too much for Pirates to overcome. Keller a All-League Performer, threw for over 150 yards with 3 Total TDs, and Holloway, a beast of a running back, ran for 167 yards and 2 TDs.
The 1st half was close, but in the 2nd half, Stebbins took contol as Holloway continued to show why he might be the best running back in Southwest Ohio.
The defense also locked down, shutting down the Priates in the 2nd half, with a forced fumble and 2 sacks to boot.
West Carrollton falls to 0-2 while Stebbins moves to 3-0, good for 1st place in the MVL.
