1.) Maysville 3-0 (2-0) | Last Rank 1 | Next Opponent: Vs. West Muskingum
Maysville’s dominance continued last Friday with a dominant 35-0 win over Philo, but Johnny Runkle’s knee injury dealt a serious blow to the team’s prolific rushing attack.
2.) Tri-Valley 3-0 (2-0) | Last Rank: 2 | Next Opponent: @ Zanesville
Cody Collins’s 133 rushing yards and three touchdowns helped propel the Scotties to a lopsided 42-0 win over Crooksville. Through three games, Tri-Valley outscored its opponents 133-3.
3.) Sheridan 1-2 (1-0) | Last Rank: 3 | Next Opponent: @ John Glenn
A match-up against a struggling John Glenn team could provide the bounce-back Sheridan needs after its 42-0 loss to Zanesville.
4.) New Lexington 1-2 (1-1) | Last Rank: 5 | Next Opponent: @ Crooksville
New Lexington’s 29 points against Morgan last week were the first points the Panthers had scored all year.
5.) Crooksville 1-2 (0-2) | Last Rank: 4 | Next Opponent: vs. New Lexington
Lopsided loss, dominant win, shut out by Tri-Valley: the Ceramics have been riding a seesaw this season. Friday’s game against New Lexington will serve as a litmus test to see where Crooksville stands.
