Almost halfway through the high school football regular season and this week welcomed an array of competitive games across the area. An Eastern Cincinnati Conference shootout went down to the wire and a GMC team made history during week four of the high school football season.

NO. 16 MILFORD 48, NO. 17 ANDERSON 47
Milford and Anderson have two of the most prolific offenses in the area and they both showed why on Friday night. The two teams combined for 54 points in the first half alone as Milford went on to win a shootout 48-47 on Friday night.

It was a back-and-forth affair from the start and both offenses scored seemingly at will. The top two leading passers in the conference put on a show in front of a great crowd at Brown Stadium.

The conference leader in passing, Anderson’s Griffin Scalf had a great night. The right-handed thrower tossed 5 touchdown passes while showing why he is one of the top passers in the area. Scarf finished 32-63 with 399 yards passing. He found his top target Santos Alvarez 13 times for 157 yards and three scores.

Milford’s Austin Harden did his part by throwing for 5 touchdown passes on the night as well, repeatedly finding his targets for big plays down the field. His fifth, a fourth down strike to Landen Wisbey gave Milford the go ahead touchdown and a 48-41 lead with 2:38 to play in the game. Hardin was 28-39 for 372 yards.

Luke Ray led Milford with 10 receptions for 157 yards and a touchdown.

With both quarterbacks dueling, the running game proved to be a difference. Milford’s Nathan Webster put his stamp on the game by rushing 14 times for 133 yards and two touchdowns to help secure the road victory.

 

LOUISVILLE TRINITY 31, NO. 8 LA SALLE 10
The La Salle Lancers were not able to capitalize when it mattered in a 31-10 loss to Louisville Trinity. The Lancers went step for step with the Shamrocks in both rushing and passing yards but were unable to score points to keep pace.

La Salle was only outgained 133-128 in rushing yards and 72-69 in passing yards but Trinity was able to finish their drives with scores to help them secure a road win. 

Mason Mattingly rushed for 73 yards to lead the Lancers. He was 10-26 passing for another 69 yards and a touchdown through the air.

Trinity’s 24 second half points proved to be too much for the Lancer to overcome in the loss.

 

NO. 11 MASON 32, NO. 12 COLERAIN 6
The Mason Comets went on the road and came away with a convincing win over the Colerain Cardinals Friday night. This was the first win versus Colerain in school history for Mason and it pushed the Comets to a third straight win on the season and a 3-1 record.

Quarterback Larson Brown went 11/15 through the air for 104 yards and 2 touchdowns to lead Mason’s passing attack.  Shelvon Hibbert paced the ground attack by rushing for 72 yards on 17 carries. The Mason defense however was the catalyst as they held Colerain to 91 total yards for the entire game.

Colerain quarterback Zay Jennings scored the lone touchdown for the Cardinals.
