Big Games on tap for Week 5;

As we hit mid-season, its that time of the year when the best of the best start to separate themselves from the pack. That brings us to our top 5 games in week 5 of HS Football in the Miami Valley.

(1) Wayne (4-0)  @  Miamisburg  (4-0) 
With the Wayne Train rolling at a blistering championship pace, can the upstart 'Burg pull off the major upset in Miamisburg in the GWOC Game of the Week?   Miamisburg was down 12-0 to Springfield last week but won a battle 13-12.
Wayne had homecoming and trampled Troy 49-7.

The Vikings look tough.
The Warriors look state tough. 
We got Wayne winning 33-20.


(2) Lebanon (2-2)  @ Trotwood  (3-1) 
Lebanon (2-2)  will look to go into a hostile Trotwood environment, after the Rams lost a very tough game in Centerville. Lebanon is a very good team in its own right, and will be looking for the upset.  if Trotwood can win this game, they could be on their way to another banner year.
We're taking the Rams 30-12.


(3) Belmont (3-1) @ Cin. Woodward  (1-2) 
Can Belmont seize the moment and defeat a game Woodward opponent in the Nati? A win and the Bison will sit alone in first place in the CMAC  National Division.

We think the Bison will win in a close one 22-20.



(4) Vandalia Butler (3-1)  @  Springfield (1-3)
In a game that has major implications,  can Springfield turn it around against a tough Butler squad? The Wildcats need a win in the worst way, as the season could be slipping away. A Vandalia win and they could be headed towards a playoff berth.
We got Springfield winning big 27-14.  


(5) Dunbar (2-2)  @  Schroeder (2-2) 
With the CMAC American division lead on the line, can the Wolverines win their second straight in the Nati? The defense will have to  be up to task as the winner will be at least tied for top spot. If Dunbar can win the trenches, this could be a another breakout game.

Wolverines win wild one 34-32.
