Thursday Night Lights: Can Meadowdale Keep Same Energy Against Thurgood? Sidney - Troy Preview; Top 150 Rankings Drop Tomorrow

 Meadowdale, Dunbar Battle With City Title Hopes on Line in Thursday Night Lights 

Meadowdale has heard all the whispers about how they "Haven't beaten quality teams" or how "They not really that good" after they got off to a very good 3-1 start. Well tonight, they get a chance to take on a City League opponent as they enter the City League portion of the games.

Thurgood lost last week to Ponitz, as they scored late, but wasn't able to put together a complete effort to get their first win. They will look to tonight to see if they can get that done against Meadowdale, who, quite frankly, are one of  the biggest storylines of the early season. 

The Lions currently sit at 15 in the Division 5 Region in OHSAA playoff standings. Only the top 12 make the playoffs. They are coming off a road loss, their first of the season.

Can the Lions running game, led by Mckinney and Peebles and the leadership of Sumlin keep the Lions on track for a playoff berth, the first since the mid 90s? Or will the Cougars figure out a way to get some of their dynamic playmakers the ball and stuff the perennial offense of Earl White and his staff? 

Sidney, Troy Both Look to Regroup Tonight

The Troy Trojans and Sidney Yellow Jackets will battle tonight at Troy HS as both teams look to get into the W column. With both teams sitting at 2-3, this game is crucial to both teams pushing towards a playoff berth. Sidney was no match for Piqua last week in a blowout loss, while Troy got back on track to get a big win and get closer to 500. 

Can Troy and Donnie Stanley (coming off a 5 TD performance) hold down a Sidney team who played a tough opponent and boast some good young talent, led by fab frosh RB Julius Spradling and defensive stud DL Jaden Swiger who is a senior. In order to defeat Troy, the Yellow Jackets need the senior QB to play at a elite level tonight.
