High school football roundup: Sept. 14
Napoleon 20, Southview 14
NAPOLEON — For a week, Napoleon coach Tory Strock implored his Wildcats to believe that they could not only hang with Northern Lakes League powerhouse Southview but that they could knock out the five-time defending champs. So, when Napoleon hung 14 points on the Cougars in the opening quarter of an NLL opener on Friday night, Strock was preaching to the choir. The Wildcats scored on their first two drives and went on to hand Southview a 20-14 setback. After going undefeated in the league last season, the preseason favorite Cougars have stumbled to a 1-3 start. Napoleon is undefeated (3-0-1, 1-0 NLL). READ MORE
Whitmer 47, St. Francis 7
The Whitmer Panthers may not have all of the bells and whistles on the roster from their back-to-back trips to the Ohio Division I state football semifinals, but the product on the field looks pretty familiar. Actually, there is one Bell — new head coach Jerry Bell — and his Panthers stayed unbeaten Friday night by whistling past visiting St. Francis de Sales in a dominant 47-7 Three Rivers Athletic Conference victory at Memorial Stadium. "I don't think people have underestimated us," Bell said. "They know we have a good football team. Findlay and Central [picked to finish 1-2 in the TRAC ahead of defending champion Whitmer] have tremendous ball clubs as well. "We just need to stay focused on playing one week at a time, and we'll take on those challenges when they present themselves." READ MORE
