It was a big night of football across Southwest Ohio, headlined by Princeton’s decisive victory over Lakota West to shake up the GMC standings.
NO. 6 PRINCETON 27, NO. 3 LAKOTA WEST 10
After allowing 20 points to Moeller in a season-opening loss to the Crusaders, the Princeton defense has been on shutdown mode since during the Vikings recent three-game winning streak.
That defense was again key Friday night in a Greater Miami Conference showdown, as Princeton handled Lakota West 27-10 to extend their winning streak to three games in a row in the rivalry with the Firebirds.
In a top-10 showdown, Princeton flexed its muscles on both sides of the ball.
