Week 3: A Tactical Showdown

Week 3 brings us Bellbrook at Valley View, where Bellbrook triumphed last season, snapping their two-game losing streak against Valley View with a score of 16-3, allowing only 65 total yards. It’s a tactical matchup you won’t want to miss!

Other matchups to keep an eye on include Wayne at Lakewood St. Edward and Springfield at Trotwood-Madison.

Weeks 4 to 10: More Action Ahead

With each passing week, the stakes get higher. Week 4 will showcase the fierce Fairmont at Centerville matchup, where the teams will fight to settle last year’s heart-pounding game that ended 31-28.

Expect some key players to shine as both teams battle it out for bragging rights.
