DOVER — It certainly seems the Big Red football team has figured some things out. After rallying to beat Cardinal Mooney the week before, Big Red’s offense broke out in a big way last week and Reno Saccoccia’s club rolled to a 55-7 victory over Linsly for back-to-back victories. ...
CADIZ — This Friday night at Wagner Field two teams that have not gotten off to the starts they hoped for will look to reverse their fortunes. Weir High, which sits 0-3 and is coming off a needed bye week to regroup, will travel out Route 22 to take on the 1-4 Harrison Central Huskies, who are looking to build off their first victory. The Red Riders, while suffering three tough losses to start the season, did so against teams with a combined record of 11-1. “We were banged up, we played three really good opponents and we took it in our lumps,” Red Riders first-year head ...
RICHMOND — The Toronto football team picked up a big win last week, while Edison suffered a devastating loss. In a battle of unbeatens, Toronto went on the road and shut out Oak Glen, 26-0, last Friday night up at the Bears’ Den. “Our kids executed the gameplan,” Toronto (5-0) head coach Jaret Aubiel said. “We were able to contain their guy No. 2. The second half was a little sloppy for my liking, but it was a good win overall. Our scheduled doesn’t get any easier. Now, it is on to the next one.” Unfortunately, the Wildcats were not near as fortunate. Not only did ...
YORKVILLE — The Oak Glen football team is looking to bounce back after suffering its first loss of the season while Buckeye Local is looking to build off last week’s improbable comeback win. Oak Glen opened the season at 3-0 before falling to undefeated Toronto, 26-0, last week up at the Bears’ Den. “Big plays hurt us,” first-year Oak Glen (3-1) head coach TJ Miller said. “Toronto was able to create some big plays. Toronto had a great gameplan, and they were able to make some big plays. We didn’t help ourselves on 3rd-and-long. They made some big plays, and we were not ...
BELPRE – The Catholic Central football team is looking for a big bounce back this week. To get it, they’re taking the show on the road as the Crusaders travel to Belpre on Saturday night to start a four-week road swing and kick off the second half of the season. They’ll need to quickly put a disappointing 48-0 loss to Wheeling Central this past Saturday in the rear view. “We need to realize that that was not Catholic Central football, and it’s unacceptable,” Crusaders head coach Eric Meek said. “They were clearly the better football team, 100 percent, without a ...
WINTERSVILLE — The Indian Creek football team is off to its best start since 2000, and the Redskins are looking to continue their winning ways this week. Indian Creek is set to play Buckeye 8 rival Bellaire Friday night at Kettlewell Stadium. Kickoff is set for 7 p.m. “I would think so,” Indian Creek (5-0) head coach Andrew Connor said if he expects the game to be another physical one between the two conference foes. “Bellaire is a good football team. They can do a lot of things defensively and offensively. They have a really good passing game. They are going to test us with ...
