Saturday Roundup: Cincinnati – Week 2

Bishop Fenwick (2-0) is for real as they took down Mount Healthy, 16-8. For a second straight week the Division IV Falcons knocked off a Division II squad on the road. Fenwick dominated the line of scrimmage before a long lightning delay in the third quarter slowed down their quest for victory.

The Falcons managed to hold Mount Healthy star quarterback David Montgomery in check, allowing him to run for just 43 yards. It was his lowest rushing total in more than a year (14 games). Montgomery did throw for 134 yards and scored the Owls only touchdown, but it came with just over three minutes left in the contest.

The victory for Fenwick ended a 20-game regular season winning streak by Mount Healthy. The Owls last loss in the regular season was to these same Falcons on September 6th, 2013.
Michael Sheridan ran for a game-high 120 yards and a touchdown for Fenwick. The Falcons’ defense was superb as they limited Mount Healthy to just 3-of-14 on third-down conversions. Ben Hinton had two of the team’s three sacks. Fenwick has given up just eight points on the season.

Oak Hills 31, Harrison 29 – Everyone thought this had the makings of an entertaining, high-scoring affair and they were right. Oak Hills (1-1) got a game-winning, 22-yard field goal from Kevin Rockwood with 50 seconds left in the contest to beat Harrison on the road (0-2) in our US Marines Battle of the Gridiron Series game. The Highlanders came back by erasing a 15-point halftime deficit. After throwing four interceptions in the opener, Oak Hills sophomore quarterback Jacob Wyocke shredded the Wildcats’ defense for 306 yards, three touchdowns and no picks. His top target was David Reddington who caught 12 passes for 168 yards with two trips to the end zone in the fourth quarter. Harrison got great performances from Alex Anderson, who topped the 100-yard mark rushing for the ninth time in his last 12 games. He finished with 135 yards and a touchdown. Classmate and quarterback Mitchell Hogue threw for 242 yards and two scores. Tylyn James caught seven of Hogue’s passes for 102 yards. Harrison has lost both of its games by one and two points.

Glen Este 39, Winton Woods 33 – In what could be a precursor to a Division II, Region 6 potential playoff match-up, Glen Este (2-0) staved off a very good Winton Woods (1-1) ball club. Tied 14-14 at half the two teams exchanged leads several times after intermission. Robby Boone ran for three second half touchdowns including the game winner with just under two minutes left. Boone was sensational for the Trojans rushing for 137 yards, completing a pass for 31 yards, hauling in six receptions for 111 more yards with four trips to the end zone. Classmate Jacob Hamilton had five receptions for 166 yards and a touchdown. Winton Woods’ running back Jalen Lumpkin had a game high 190 yards on the ground with two touchdowns.

Milford 42, Dixie Heights 28 – Milford (1-1) scored 28 unanswered, second-half points to pick up its first win of the season. Dawson Slone ran for 70 yards and two touchdowns for the victors. He also had 187 all-purpose yards on the afternoon. Teammate and receiver Ben Greenwell caught six passes for 93 yards and two scores.

Indian Hill 61, Waynesville 19 – The Indian Hill (2-0) Braves are for real. The high-scoring Braves had no problem of disposing Waynesville (0-2) on the road. Indian Hill running back Nick Gehrich had four second half rushes all for touchdowns. He finished the contest with 95 yards on the ground. Junior quarterback Reed Aicholz was on fire, completing 19-of-23 passes for 365 yards and four touchdowns. Brother Dawson Aicholz caught four of those passes for 154 yards and a touchdown. Colin Shaw had seven receptions for 127 yards and a score. Nick Heidel caught the other two touchdowns passes from Aicholz.

After making the post-season a year ago the Braves have given up 692 yards and 11 touchdowns rushing in two weeks. Taft was blanked by Wyoming, 42-0. The Senators have been unable to get their ground game going as The Cowboys held them to -32 yards rushing on Saturday night. They are averaging just 44.5 yards per contest.
