   Daryl McCleskey scored 3 TDS to lead the Warriors to a 56-17 drubbing of Centerville to  become the third team to go undefeated in Wayne history, winning the GWOC Central, and receiving a  first-round home game in D-1 region 2.

   For the Elks (6-4)? Their luck just ran out. They have had more escapes than Harry Houdini this season, but there was no escaping the Train.

Wayne ends up ranked 2nd in the state and 11th in the country. For now.
This team is as loaded as a High school team that you can possibly have. Almost looks like a mid-major college team. Right now.

Up next for Wayne:
1st round playoff home game  vs Reynoldsburg


Rams Hargrove goes beserk, sends statement
   After a fast start to the season,  Trotwood hit a rough patch late in the season, losing 3 of 4 games. While their playoff hopes never wavered, the question is, can they do damage in the playoffs, or will it be a one and done season?

After a record breaking day by sophomore sensation Raveion Hargtove, it's safe to say the Ram a look ready for the playoffs.

 Trotwood took care of Vandalia Butler 57 - 35 as  the office racked up 600 yards. Hargrove had runs of 98 and 80 yards in the first half. He racked up 341 yards In the first half alone.

  Butler, who also was 7-3 & won the division for the first time since 02',  also made the playoffs and will play Lasalle.  QB Chandler Craine threw 4 TD passes, but it wasn't enough.

Trotwood will host a playoff game, while Butler will travel.

Ponitz, Meadowdale, Thurgood all win
All the city league squads, save for Belmont, won this week.
   Ponitz defeated College Prep 18 - 8, as they displayed great effort on D.  On top of that the Panthers won their last three games, to give the coaches hope that next year could be a bigger turnaround. Ponitz finishes at 4-6.

    Thurgood defeats Schroeder,  gets to .500
After a slow start to the season, Thurgood won 4 of its last 6 games to get to 5-5 after a big win over Schroeder. Thurgood was led by two way star  Tommie Richardson.

Wayne starts fast, stops Moeller late to win 24-22 on ESPN

At the beginning of the Wayne - Moeller game it looked as if the #WayneTrain would steamroll another opponent, only this time it would be a team they beat in the playoffs last season - just this time on ESPN3.


After a nearly flawless first half which seen Wayne's QB Messiah DeWeaver be nearly perfect, Sophmore sensation WR Christian " L'Blu" Smith have his coming out party and Wayne clicking on all cylinders, it looked like it would be a rout.




17-0 Wayne in the second quarter.
Not so fast WayneTrain.




Moeller regrouped late in the first half with a long bomb to Butz to cut it to 17-6. (Missed extra point, which would cost them).


Who would Wayne turn to?
Insert two way star Daryl McClesky.


McClesky took a pass to the flat on 3rd and 22 and turned it into a 91-yard TD with savvy running, a couple nice jukes and a burst that Moeller couldn't match.
24-6 @ half. Game over right?
Wrong.




Moeller turned up the defense, and shut downs Wayne's high powered offense. They also scored twice to cut lead to 24-16 late in the third. After Wayne stalled a couple more times, Moeller pushed down the field and scored a huge 4th down TD by Hunter Hughes to pull it to 24-22 with less than a minute left in the 4th.
Beacause Moeller missed the extra point after their first score they would have to go for two, which was stopped by Wayne to the relief of coach Jay Minton and his squad.


Moeller a recovered onside kick (after a penalty forced a re-kick) but wasn't able to get into field goal range and Wayne sacked the QB to end the rally.


Ballgame.






There could be a chance these two powers meet again, in the playoffs, but as of right now?




The Warriors have knocked off the perennial Cincy power in the last two big games.






Not too late to jump on that #WayneTrain before it gets to state.
All aboard.
