St. Marys was able to run for 300 yards.........London scores 6 after an injury on a throw with no time remaining to cut the lead to 11.St. Mary’s over London 42-31
so I'm a Minster fan, Cats are very talented , but very young...... First time the Cats have played Graham , how about a scouting report on Graham?Been there done that. I'd love to see the CBC go 2-0 against the MAC, but we'll see.
Did that surprise you? Is Graham down or is Shawnee fairly good? I thought Graham would be a good test and show better than the score indicates. What's the status on the Shawnee RB that was hurt last week? Curious to see what Indian Lake brings next week. I saw they where they were shut out by Riverside and wonder how they will stack up with the Braves.Shawnee beat Graham 45 19.
Graham had over 5 turnovers in the first half!Shawnee beat Graham 45 19.
Shawnee was better than Graham. They did shoot themselves in the foot repetitively with penalties. As mentioned above me, Graham had 5 turnovers and 3 failed onside kicks. Their players ran hard and generally didn't go down on first contact but Shawnee was just too much for them.Did that surprise you? Is Graham down or is Shawnee fairly good?

Thavoice used to frequent these threads. He’s got a front row seat to Indian Lake. Maybe he will give some insight……:Shawnee was better than Graham.

If IL was shutout by Riverside I would think Shawnee will win again next week.
I think both teams had at least some cramping issues.Did Graham have issues with CRAMPS during the game this week?
My first in person game this year and I got there late, as Shawnee RB was making an 80+ yard TD rush. My take away from that game. First, IL is bad and that my be kind, Second, Shawnee is really fast and aggressive. Yes, I know how to tell the difference between mud and dirt but Shawnee as a whole was on another level; even Shawnee's JV in the second half was over the top better than IL varsity. However, I will reserve judgement on them until they start divisional play but from last nights beat down, they may have a word or two to say for who wins the Kenton Trail title.Shawnee beats IL 49 0. IL finished the game with less than 100 total yards
No surprise coaching cost Tecumseh another game. They looked unprepared against Graham. Defense looked lost, starting on the opening drive. Offense was predictable. Give the Graham coaching staff credit, they were playing chess while Tecumseh's was playing checkers. Tecumseh really should be 4 - 0 right now. The Bellbrook game was very winnable.My first in person game this year and I got there late, as Shawnee RB was making an 80+ yard TD rush. My take away from that game.

I was shocked that Graham beat Tecumseh. What happened there?
I think the standard in the Mad River is North Union and right now Bellefontaine is the favorite in the Kenton Trail.
Hard to believe next week is half the of the regular season....WOW, JUST WOW!!!
With your statement, the coaches are entirely responsible for the loss? What stake do the players have in the team, do they only win and the coaches lose? I don't get it how Tecumseh can come within a whisker of beating Bellbrook then turn around an lose to Graham. This isn't a total coaching failure...or is it? What is your guess against a 1-3 Ben Logan, this week, that has only beat a very bad Triad in week 1? Division play starts in two weeks.No surprise coaching cost Tecumseh another game.

Kenton Trail I would be looking hard at London being a serious contender again. I don't think they are quite as talented as the last few years and still have a painfully predictable one dimensional offense that kneecaps them in D3 in the playoffs.I think the standard in the Mad River is North Union and right now Bellefontaine is the favorite in the Kenton Trail.
You know more than I do and I am not counting out London but I guess I am buying in on the hype on Bellefontaine and honestly they probably have more talent across the board than any other KT team. Tecumseh is now a mystery with their loss to Graham and we shall see if they right the ship. I do look for them to pull an upset in the divisional play. Alder, again I am out to lunch on them but they always seem to rise to the occasion. Very curious to how they stack up with North Union this year. I predicated a NU win last year and boy was I wrong. Shawnee, from what I saw, albeit a very bad Indian Lake team, they are very fast and very aggressive and their offensive is quick strike. My rack and stack for mid year would be:Kenton Trail I would be looking hard at London being a serious contender again.

2-2 record. Losses to 3-1 Chillicothe (only loss to 3-1 Westerville North by a 17-14 score) and to 3-1 St. Mary's Memorial (only loss to 3-1 Wapakoneta 29-22 in OT). I don't know if anybody in this league beats either of those teams at this juncture in the season. Pummeled a much improved Urbana squad that had a two score win against West Jefferson.
Kenton Trail is going to be really tough this year. I think 5/6 teams (excluding KR) are going to have capability to win any given night in divisional play.
Unfortunately, I don't think we are going to see who Shawnee really is until they play Bellefontaine on 9/30.You know more than I do and I am not counting out London but I guess I am buying in on the hype on Bellefontaine and honestly they probably have more talent across the board than any other KT team.

You may be correct. NW this week which should be a cake walk followed with KR, though that could be a battle...who knows with KR. Belle the following week, WOW. I may have to take that one in since its a SHS home game and close. Holy Cow, its almost October!!!!!Unfortunately, I don't think we are going to see who Shawnee really is until they play Bellefontaine on 9/30.
IMO, Graham loses to Urbana and North Union...badly. That was a bad loss for Tecumseh. Mid year rack and stack the Mad River:I am very curious about the Alder/North Union game this week. I don't have a good feel for what Alder brings to the table this year yet, but they are typically very competitive.
I don't know how bad Tecumseh's loss was this week. Graham has become a solid and competitive program over the last few years. By the box score, Tecumseh appears to have shot themselves in the foot several times with turnovers, while Graham did a much better job of taking care of the football.
