Roundup: Dayton – Week 6

The big boys stepped up and took care of business in Greater Western Ohio Conference openers on Friday night. The Central Buckeye Conference and Southwestern Buckeye League are still waiting for teams to step out of the shadows and become legitimate playoff contenders. Here is a look at what happened around the Gem City last evening.

Will the Real CBC Kenton Step Forward – Stebbins (5-1, 0-1) and Tippecanoe (5-1, 0-1) went into their CBC Kenton opener Friday night undefeated. Both teams fell to 1-4 squads. Tipp fell to Springfield Shawnee 35-28 while Stebbins lost to Bellefontaine by three, 17-14. League foe Tecumseh backed its way into the playoffs a year ago after starting 5-0 then losing their final five regular season games. Could Stebbins or Tippecanoe be the next to follow suit?

Franklin Starting to Roll – After a 1-2 start that saw Franklin (4-2, 2-0) fall to Edgewood and Springboro (who are a combined 10-2) the Wildcats have reeled off three straight wins. It appears as if the SWBL Southwestern title is going to come down to a Week 10 showdown with Brookville (6-0, 3-0).
