It was a weekend of amazing football for both teams and individuals. St. Xavier climbed to the top of the Blitz 5 Top 25 presented by TriStateFootball.com after knocking previously top-ranked La Salle to take the “King of the Road” trophy back. Staying atop the rankings won’t be easy for St. Xavier. They head to The Pit to face third-ranked Elder in another GCL South showdown.
East Central moved into the top 10 after derailing then #8 Moeller in last weekend’s biggest upset. New Richmond and Western Brown combined for 138 points. New Richmond came out on top 77-61. The 2-0 Lions are now knocking on the door of the rankings
Kings’ senior running back Ty Stylski found the end zone six times as the visiting Knights rocked rival Anderson, 70-34 in their 2020 opener. Kings landed at No. 20 in this week’s poll following that effort.
Freshman quarterback Talon Fisher rushed for 299 yards and four touchdowns as #11 Fairfield picked up its first win of the season.
If the first two weeks are signs of what is to come, this campaign promises to be incredibly entertaining the rest of the way. There are eight games this Friday night with ranked teams squaring off.
