Cincinnati Round-Up: Hamilton halts Middies

Hamilton and Winton Woods kept on streaming plus more in our Cincinnati Round-Up.

NO. 9 HAMILTON 42, NO. 21 MIDDLETOWN 7

Hamilton kept their winning streak going with a victory over rival Middletown in the Butler Bowl. Gracen Goldsmith continued his push for GMC offensive player of the year with another big outing on the ground. The physical back rumbled his way to a big night. Goldsmith rushed for 203 yards and four scores on the night. RJ Shephard hauled in five receptions for 70 yards and Elijah Jones caught a touchdown pass from quarterback Antonio Mathis. 

The Big Blue got a strong defensive game from CJ Bryant at linebacker who had seven tackles and Trey Verdon who had eight tackles from the defensive line. Both forced a fumble on the night that Hamilton recovered. The Big Blue stay on track for a high seed in the upcoming playoffs in hopes of making a deep run.

NO. 1 MOELLER 44, ST. IGNATIUS 0

The Moeller Crusaders went up north and pitched a shutout against Cleveland St. Ignatius on Friday night. Moeller led 16-0 after a quarter and 37-0 at the half en route to a comfortable win on the road. Matt Ponatoski tossed four touchdown passes on the night as he led the Crusaders up and down the field at will. He connected twice with Matthew Fogler and once each to Carson Khayo and Sam Hamilton.

Moeller also got a kick return from Chris Bradley for a score and a 9-yard rushing score from Deacon Simmons in the commanding win. The defense also registered a safety during their shutout win. The Crusaders looked primed for a big run in the playoffs.

NO. 4 WINTON WOODS 12, NO. 15 WEST CLERMONT 7

The Winton Woods Warriors once again used a tremendous defensive effort and just enough offense to slide past West Clermont in a physical ECC battle on Friday night. With the win, the Warriors move a step closer to a conference title with a showdown with Anderson looming.

The defense held West Clermont start QB Bo Rickman to only 37 yards rushing on the night. He came in as the leading rusher in the conference. Landon Young had 64 yards and the lone score for the Wolves in the loss. Bryshawn Brown threw for 89 yards for the Warriors in the win.
