Southern Local Indians go on the warpath to defeat Valley Christian Eagles 46-22 @VCSAthletics123 @sl1tribe

October 10, 2021 | contributor

Saturday night my travels took me to Campbell, Ohio for the neutral site game between 5-2 Southern Local and 5-1 Valley Christian. Calpreps had this a one-point game, so I really was expecting a tight hard-hitting contest but when all was said and done I, as well as all of the other fans, got, […]

Last night I made my 2nd trip to Northridge High School in Dayton to see for the first time Troy Christian play against Dayton Northridge.

Cameron opened the game with two touchdowns. One from 28 yards and the second from 45 yards. Though neither counted as flags negated them. Madonna did manage the first score of the game, a 10 yard TD pass to Michael Burdine in the second quarter. But, the Dragons finally got one that counted. A 16 […]

Last night I drove to Millersport, Ohio to watch the football game between the home team Millersport Lakers and the visiting Miller Falcons.

Last night covid played a part in my game selection and I wound up going ba to Mifflin high school to cover the Mifflin hosting Whetston game. Both teams came in winless on the 2021 season so I figured both teams would be playing a little harder thinking that this was a good chance […]

Neither team has had the start to the 2021 season they were hoping which made this game important and big to both. One of the two was going to leave Ball State University feeling a little […]

Mississinewa limped into this one carrying an 0-3 record, while Madison Gant came in a little better of supporting a 1-2 record. The Indians came out looking like a team starving for a win and almost looked like they were ready to go on the warpath. The scoring began innocently enough with Carson Campbell scoring […]
