West Clermont Wolves (1-1, 0-1 ECC)
The Wolves opened their season with a narrow 20-18 win against Mt. Healthy but stumbled last week, suffering a 52-7 loss to Anderson. Quarterback Bo Rickman has been a dual-threat, throwing for 73 yards and 1 touchdown, while also adding 117 rushing yards and 2 rushing touchdowns. Running back Landon Young has been the workhorse on the ground, rushing for 241 yards in two games.
Defensively, Alexander Hauck and Julian Hinkston lead the Wolves, with Hauck making two interceptions and accumulating 14 total tackles. However, the Wolves will need to tighten up their defense after allowing Anderson to score 52 points last week.
Key Matchups:
Luke Faler vs. West Clermont’s Secondary: Faler has been efficient through the air, and West Clermont’s secondary, particularly Hauck, will need to be at their best to contain Lebanon’s passing attack.
Landon Young vs. Lebanon’s Run Defense: Young has been a consistent performer for the Wolves, and his ability to break through Lebanon’s defense will be crucial if West Clermont is to control the tempo of the game.
Editor’s Pick:
Lebanon has looked the stronger team so far this season, with balanced play on both offense and defense. While West Clermont’s dual-threat quarterback Bo Rickman adds a dynamic element to their offense, Lebanon’s consistency and form should give them the edge in this matchup.
