Top 5 Games in High School Football; Week 2 Schedule

SportsEffectLive.com saw a crazy week 1 which featuted the best players (Malik Zaire, Heath Harding) doing what they do best, while some teams got off to a good start (Thurgood, Oakwood, Dunbar) and others not so much (Trotwood)...

Here are our SELive HOT 5 GAMES of Week 2 in MIAMI VALLEY High School Football

 (1)  Dunbar  1-0       @   Trotwood  0-1      7pm
   With Dunbar coming off its electric last minute win last week over Valley View, the Wolves will be charged up for the Rams, who lost to powerhouse University (Fla) last week on ESPN. However, look for the Rams to be a little upset as well, with players settling into their roles a little better. Still, off of a short week for the Rams, this will be a battle, as the Defending D-2 Champs cannot afford to go down 0-2 in the season.


(2)  C-J  1-0   @   Thurgood Marshall  1-0       Welcome Stadium 7pm
    With both teams winning on the road last week, this should be a great early season matchup. Marshall continues its Double wing T offense led by Soph QB Ja'Mahl Manley, while C-J will hand the ball to Fab Frosh QB Jacob Harrison, who lead the Eagles to a late W in Troy last week.


(3)  Canton McKinley 1-0 @  Wayne 1-0      Sat 7pm
    Wayne showed this year that its defense will be much better, and it will get a stiff test from McKinley, who has beaten them two years in a row. Wayne will need to be consistent on O and will need an even better effort defensively to pull out the win. Watch out for Defensive standout Dorian Hendrix in the game, as he could be a major factor for the Warriors.


(4)  Springboro   1-0  @  Centerville  0-1  
   This rivalry between neighbors heats up as the Panthers travel to take on the Elks tonight; The Boro won last week, uglified nevertheless. They will have to be on their best performance tonight to take out the Elks, who look to get back on track after falling last week 34-21; If Sprinboro can pull off the upset, they could vault up the polls.
 

(5) West Carrollton  1-0  @  Franklin  1-0
   One of these teams will be 2-0, which could be huge in securing a possible playoff spot. Franklin will be led by their RB Chris Hymer who ran for 143 last week. West Carrollton will be ready for the rivalry.

BONUS GAME
   Alter     @   Guerin Catholic (Ind) 
  Alter and its prized QB (Malik Zaire) looks to head to Indy to take on a powerhouse. The Knights typically do well on road trips, and this one will rack up some points in the Playoff Polls...This could be a tell-tale sign of how good Alter could be.

Miami Valley High School Week 1 Recap, Results,SELive Star of the Week

SportsEffectlive.com brings you the goods from week 1 football in the Miami Valley:


SELive STAR OF WEEK 1:   MALIK ZAIRE ,  Alter QB

Zaire led the Knights last year to a undefeated record last year - only to have it erased by the cinderella Thurgood Marshall team in the playoffs (first rd); Zaire, who's headed to Notre Dame, held off a tough Fairmont squad 42-35. He threw the ball 30 times - which for Alter is "amazing" as he put it - for 251 yards and 5 TD's and ran for 171 more with another TD.



SELIVE HOT 5   FOOTBALL  WEEK 1 RESULTS      

University (Fla) 33, Trotwood 14  (ESPN)
    University showed why they are one of the elite teams in the country, jumping out to a 19-0 lead and holding on before a live audience. Trotwood scored, and was threatening late in the 3rd, but a INT return for a TD ended their hopes of a comeback; Trotwood had flashes of showing what they could become this season, but with inconsistent play, the bright lights of ESPN, and some new faces, it will take some time for this team to gel. Up NEXT:  vs DUNBAR

CJ 21, Troy 14   
     C-J's Fab Frosh Jacob Harrison directed two TD drives in the last quarter to seal the deal against the Trojans. Although he didn't start, C-J coach Marcus Colvin called his number, and he delivered, (GW TD pass to Antwan Persons) to the chagrin of new Troy coach Scot Brewer.

Wayne 30, Winton Woods 20
     Wayne won ugly on defense, and had a couple spectacular plays as they sprinted to a 20-13 lead led by Javon Harrison 2 TD's  and Centerville transfer Devin Reed, who also threw a 80-yd TD to Jessie Bray to set the tone. The Warriors finally won their first game since 2009. The Warriors forced turnovers, blocked punts, and set the tone from the jump. Dorian Hendrix led the Warriors defense.

Dunbar 22, Valley View 21 
    Dunbar looked to be headed to the L column after getting a stuffed punt deep in their own territory with less than 2 minutes in the game (game tied 14-14); Valley View scored two plays later, and they took a 21-14 lead with less than a min left in the game. However, two silly penalties by the View, and Charles Johnson, who had his punt snuffed, would score to pull within 21-20; The Wolverines went for 2 and Dontay White dove over the line to give Dunbar the lead and the W.
