Go Buckeyes
In football, there is a weekly small recap for several games across the state. This is one example from week 10:
-The Nelsonville-York Buckeyes knocked off previously-undefeated Athens 19-14 on Friday night, capturing another Tri-Valley Conference Ohio Division championship - their third in four years. Austin Gautier carried 29 times for 133 yards and one touchdown, while Landen Inman added 50 yards on 15 carries, 5-of-5 passing for 56 yards, and one reception for 35 yards. Both Buckeyes made eight tackles.

I am looking for volunteers willing to do something similar for their favorite team(s).

Basically, looking the winning/losing teams, final score, team leaders in the game and any interesting information about the game.

If you are interested, please post in this thread the team(s) that you would want to cover. This could be every game or just a couple games during the year.

We are losing too many local papers and kids are not getting the mentions in the paper that was common in the past. This is trying to bring a little of that back.
 
 
I could cover CHL teams games?

I wouldn't be able to put them up until stats are posted on the website though

Please post your game recaps in this thread. I will group them into a single thread each week (or maybe more often, we'll see how it goes).

Include the date of the game at the beginning of the post.

Hudson Funk made a 2-point shot to give Cornerstone Christian the lead at the end of the game. A defensive stop by the Patriots secured the with a final score of 61-60. Darrien Davis finished with 18 points, Asiah West scored 12, and Quinn Kwasniak had 10.

11/29
Lakota East 67, Goshen 44
In the first game of Trey Perry's swan song with Lakota East, he and the Thunderbirds dominated Goshen from start to finish, 67-44. East’s junior guard Ashton Washburn was able to provide a solid secondary scoring threat and the defense played admirably, holding a Goshen team that averaged 68.5 points a game last year to just 17 in the first half.
 
11/29
Loveland 64, Preble Shawnee 54
Both teams showcased healthy amounts of aggression, which led to a lot of steals and a lot of fouls. Loveland's Chase Martin was in foul trouble the entire game, fouling out early in the 4th quarter, though he still led the team with 17 points. Loveland junior Blake Carrigan saw extensive action for the first time in his career and picked up 13 points and 5 rebounds, while senior Will Bertke posted 15 and 6. Preble Shawnee junior guard Brody Morton posted 17 points in the loss, three shy of his career high.

Little Miami 58, Mason 47
Little Miami rode a massive 24-point second quarter to a season-opening victory to close out day one of the Ohio Valley Hoops Classic. Mason turned the ball over 22 times to Little Miami's 17. Carter Sellers and Jackson Reynolds, the Panthers' top two returning scorers, combined for 28 points but also 10 turnovers. Sellers reached the free throw line often with his commanding inside presence but failed to make the most of the opportunities, finishing just 8-17 from the charity stripe. Mason junior Jacob Lupinski posted a career-high 15 points in the losing effort.
 
11/29
Middletown 71, Woodward 49
In the season-opening Paul Walker Classic, Middletown opened up a double-digit lead early over the Bulldogs with a 24-point first quarter and never let go, as they led by 19 at the half and by 27 at the end of 3. The Middies' top returning scorer, Jeremiah Landers, paced the team with 16 points as well as 4 rebounds, 3 assists, and 3 steals. Senior Michael Maldonado, who had a strong end to his last season, added 10 points in just 10 minutes off the bench. Woodward junior forward Bryce Lively exploded for a career-high 17 points and 12 rebounds in the loss.
 
11/30
Oak Hills 62, Withrow 21
This season was always going to be an uphill battle for Withrow, who lost their top three scorers from last season: two to graduation, one to the transfer portal (Avery Jordan). Oak Hills made light work of them in a 62-21 thrashing, spearheaded by a 28-2 run in the first 9 minutes of play. Highlander guard Brady Keeton sank six 3-pointers for a career-high 19-point outing, while 6'6'' senior forward Nate Riep added 14 more. Withrow sophomore Kaden Baldwin came off the bench to score 8 points in his first varsity game.
 
11/30
Trotwood-Madison 74, Middletown 72
In a hotly contested battle to determine the champion of the Paul Walker Classic, Trotwood-Madison (2-0) edged out a victory over Middletown (1-1). The decisive factor in the game was the Rams' 30-point second quarter, which built a lead big enough that the Middies could not overcome it even as they outscored the Rams in every other quarter. Both teams had three players in double figures: Baron White (19), Je'Carious Reaves (16), and Daveon Arnold (14) for Trotwood; Chandler Shields (20), Jeremiah Landers (14), and Dae'Shaun Showes (10) for Middletown.
 
11/29
St. Xavier 45, Fairmont 38
In the third game of the Ohio Valley Hoops Classic, St. Xavier was able to grind out a 45-38 victory over Kettering Fairmont. The Bombers were able to limit the Firebirds to just 4 points in the second quarter, giving them a 25-18 edge heading into halftime, which they would then be able to maintain for the rest of the game. The Bombers' top two scorers from last season, Jacob Wassler and Donovan Waleskowski, combined for 23 of St. X's 45 points and 12 of their 18 rebounds. Fairmont senior Evan Gentile scored over half of the Firebirds' points and posted his 10th career outing of 20 or more points.
 
11/30
St. Xavier 61, Colonial (FL) 29
Attempting to sweep their two-game road trip to the Buckeye State after defeating a decent Sycamore team yesterday, the Colonial Grenadiers instead ran into a brick wall (or, uh, a more potent military fighter?) as they were pummeled by the St. Xavier Bombers, 61-29. St. X (2-0) scored double digits in every quarter, while Colonial (3-2) failed to do that in even one. Jacob Wassler and Donovan Waleskowski again led the scoring for the Bombers again as they combined for 28 points, doing most of their damage from beyond the arc with 7 three-pointers made. Bomber forward John Veith collected 6 rebounds off the bench. Silas Williams led the Grenadiers with 11 points in the loss.

Moeller 51, Chaminade Julienne 42
In a matchup of GCL South vs. GCL Co-Ed, it was reigning SWOH runner-up Moeller that came away with a fairly tight win. Moeller's victory was in large part to strong performances in the middle two quarters, outscoring the Eagles 33-22 and building a double-digit lead entering the 4th. Alex Kazanecki was again brilliant, hitting 9 of 10 shots and posting 22 points, second only to his 34 in the Centerville loss last year, and adding 6 rebounds and multiple blocks and steals. Brady Franz and Zach Green for the Crusaders also posted career-high scoring totals, with 13 and 11 respectively. Senior David Cartwright and junior Chase Jones co-led Chaminade Julienne with 9 points each.
 
11/30
Northridge 49, Elder 29
Despite being a lower-division team, the Northridge Polar Bears knew they could be in for a special season, hence why they stacked their schedule with powerhouses like Lutheran East, Conner, and Simon Kenton. That feeling only grew as they beat up a rebuilding Elder squad on Saturday, 49-29. Brothers Deonte and Keonte Smith, the latter of whom was playing his first varsity game as a freshman, combined for 23 points, 10 rebounds, and 4 steals for Northridge. Elder was forced to turn to underclassmen against the Polar Bears, as nobody who scored a point against Moeller in the Panthers' final game of last season played in the contest (five seniors, plus Cam Williams, who is currently out with a foot injury). Junior forward Connor Moore led Elder in scoring with seven points in the loss.
 
11/30
CIN. WOODWARD 64, MT. HEALTHY 59
Junior forward Bryce Lively scored 29 points with 14 rebounds and senior forward Terrance Watson scored five straight points with under 1:15 remaining to push Woodward past Mt. Healthy, 64-59, in both teams final game at the Paul Walker Classic in Middletown.
Woodward never trailed throughout the first three quarters, but a 17-2 run by the Owls put Mt. Healthy ahead, 53-50, with six minutes remaining in the game. Mt. Healthy still led by two, 58-56, when Watson made two free throws with 1:15 left to tie the score. After the teams exchanged turnovers, Watson scored on a put-back with 13.3 seconds remaining and added a free throw to put Woodward ahead for good, 61-58.
Junior guard Julian Gaulden added 12 points with five assists for Woodward. Watson finished with seven points and three blocks off the bench.
Senior forward Maison Brown led Mt. Healthy with 18 points and 16 rebounds. Senior guard Aaron Vasser added 15 points, making 10 of 14 free throws, and junior guard Deondre Chambers had 13 points for the Owls.

I added the article above to the first week. Make sure to add the date it was played at the top of the recap.

The week will run Monday through Sunday. So if there are any Sunday games played, they will be included as the last games of the week.

I will be grabbing the recaps from this thread on Sunday night or Monday morning.

Fairfield 65, La Salle 46
Despite losing two of their top three scorers to the transfer portal this offseason, Fairfield put together a complete game and avenged their loss to La Salle last year in both teams' season opener. Fairfield (1-0) built a double-digit lead by halftime and never allowed La Salle (0-1) back into the game. Fairfield's 6'10" senior center Gabe Clemmons posted a double-double, plus 3 assists, 3 steals, and a monster 6 blocks. Falcons senior guard Michael Lewis posted a career-high 22 points, while Daviawne Crim chipped in with 18 more. La Salle guard Pat McLaughlin, fresh off a regional finals appearance as the football QB, posted 14 points in the loss, while forward Max English added 10.

Lakota West 64, Withrow 30
Lakota West, a GMC title contender, opened their season against a Withrow team fresh off a bad loss to Oak Hills last weekend. Like the Highlanders, Lakota West (1-0) was able to handle Withrow (0-2) with ease, shutting out the Tigers 16-0 in the second quarter and building a 27-7 lead at halftime. Firebirds sophomore Josh Tyson was the star of the show, scoring 15 points with 7 rebounds, while senior LJ Green posted a near double-double. Junior Tyson Davis also scored in double figures off the bench. Withrow's Savion Davis came off the bench to score 11 points, doing most of his damage from beyond the arc, in the losing effort.
 
12/3
West Clermont 80, Talawanda 28
West Clermont opened their season at home facing down a Talawanda team coming off two big losses to Monroe and Ross last week. It didn't get any easier for the Brave (0-3) as they were trounced by more than 50 by West Clermont (1-0), who scored over 25 points in each of the first two quarters as Talawanda narrowly avoided the pain of having a running clock start immediately in the 3rd quarter. Rayshawn Hubbard, the ECC's top scorer last year, began his senior season with a 24-point double-double, while junior guard Carson Duke added 17 and 5 steals, which helped contribute to West Clermont turning the Brave over 23 times in the contest. Wolves point guard Jyaiire Harper, a transfer from Withrow, scored 9 points in his first action with the Wolves. Talawanda's scoring leaders were Brayden Douglas and Sam Lippmann, who each scored seven.
