Trojans, Blue Devils duel in battle of unbeatens<\/span><\/p>\n

\n\t
\n\t\t\t

\n\t\t\tGallia Academy vs Portsmouth<\/a>\t\t<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t

By PAUL BOGGS & Kent Sanborn<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Two tradition-rich and proud programs, which just happen to be 4-0 for the first time in ages, do battle on Friday night.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

In a key Ohio Valley Conference clash, the Portsmouth Trojans travel the long trek to Gallia County to take on the Gallia Academy Blue Devils \u2013 the defending OVC champion.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Both teams are 4-0, with the Trojans 4-for-4 for the first time since 2002, while the Blue Devils hold that same mark \u2013 for the first time since 1994.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

But, for the here and now, the winner will move to 2-0 in the OVC, as both captured their conference openers last week while looking to complete the first half of this season still undefeated.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Kickoff inside historic Memorial Field in Gallipolis is set for 7 p.m.<\/span><\/p>\n

[the_ad id=”2695″]<\/span><\/p>\n

Dating back a decade ago in the now defunct Southeastern Ohio Athletic League, the Trojans have defeated the Blue Devils just twice \u2013 in 2009 and 2016.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

That (2016) was Gallia Academy’s initial season in the OVC, as Portsmouth has been a member since a year earlier.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The Trojans tied Ironton for runner-up to the Blue Devils last season, thanks largely to senior running back Talyn Parker, who is back to his rushing \u2013 and scoring \u2013 ways.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Meanwhile, the Blue Devils \u2013 after edging arch-rival Point Pleasant 14-13 in the Big Blacks’ season-opener the week before \u2013 dominated against visiting Chesapeake, rolling to a 55-27 triumph.<\/span><\/p>\n

2019, 2020<\/dd><\/dl><\/div><\/div><\/div> Gallia Academy’s own primary playmaker, junior James Armstrong, enjoyed an excellent game against the Panthers \u2013 running wild for 214 yards and two touchdowns on 22 carries.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Hence, one of the keys to Friday’s contest will be stopping the other’s speedster tailback.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Two years ago, in the Blue Devils’ 36-35 nailbiting win, Parker played big as a sophomore, so Gallia Academy is going to have to swarm him under and keep him in check.<\/span><\/p>\n

[the_ad id=”2695″]<\/span><\/p>\n

The Blue Devils do have an experience advantage up front, however, and are seen by many observers as a decided favorite for Friday night’s outcome.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The Trojan lines are indeed young, and two of Parker’s touchdowns last week went for 59 and 69 yards \u2013 in which he broke tackles, got free and utilized his speed.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Both teams, with the initial release of the Ohio High School Athletic Association computer ratings, are fourth in their respective regions (Portsmouth in Division V Region 19, Gallia Academy in Division IV Region 15).<\/span><\/p>\n

\n\t\t\tTrimble vs Worthington Christian<\/a>\t\t<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t

There must be something about the end zone that the Trimble Tomcats are overly protecting.<\/span><\/p>\n

That’s because the undefeated Tomcats \u2013 in scoring 35 points in the season opener against Nelsonville-York before back-to-back-to-back Tri-Valley Conference Hocking Division shutouts against Belpre (46), Meigs Eastern (48) and South Gallia (45) \u2013 have NOT been scored upon all season.<\/span><\/p>\n

[the_ad id=”2695″]<\/span><\/p>\n

You heard correct.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Not one touchdown, not one field goal, and not even one safety.<\/span><\/p>\n

[event_scoreboard id=”1724″ number=”10″ align=”none”]<\/span><\/p>\n

But this week, that shutout streak to start 2019 will face \u2013 by far \u2013 its most difficult challenge yet, as the 3-1 Worthington Christian Warriors will invade Tomcat country for an extremely significant non-league tilt.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Kickoff on Friday night inside Glouster Memorial Stadium is set for 7:30 p.m.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Warriors’ only loss is against undefeated Galion Northmor, as the remainder of WC’s opponents have combined for a mark of 2-10.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Like Trimble, the Warriors play primarily Division VI or VII squads, as the Tomcats’ toppled opponents are all 2-2 with the exception of 1-3 South Gallia.<\/span><\/p>\n

Speaking of protecting a house, that’s exactly what the Northwest Mohawks will attempt on Friday night when they welcome their nearby neighbor \u2013 the Valley Indians.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

But this time, the Mohawks’ house has been superbly renovated, as Northwest will play its first true home game this season \u2013 amid its nice new upgraded facilities.<\/span><\/p>\n

Kickoff at Northwest High School is set for 7 p.m.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Both schools are members of the Southern Ohio Conference, but like the Oak Hill Oaks of last week, Northwest of the SOC I faces Valley of the non-league SOC II.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Between the lines, the Indians are 3-1 and on a three-game win streak \u2013 and could be 4-0 had they not been plagued by mistakes in their 32-27 season-opening loss at Portsmouth.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The young Mohawks (2-2), meanwhile, had their two-game win streak snapped at Oak Hill, as the Oaks are now in the SOC II after dominating the SOC I for a decade.<\/span><\/p>\n

[the_ad id=”2695″]<\/span><\/p>\n

Northwest is now the biggest fish in that small-school pond, as it plays primarily juniors, sophomores and freshmen \u2013 despite its dramatically increased numbers.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The Indians are more experienced, and currently hold the eighth spot in the Division VI Region 24 computer ratings.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Amanda-Clearcreek at Waverly<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

\n\t
\n\t\t\t

\n\t\t\tWaverly vs Amanda-Clearcreek<\/a>\t\t<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The Amanda-Clearcreek Aces and Waverly Tigers will play some serious computer games this week, with Friday night’s non-league encounter between a pair of Ohio playoff regulars.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The Aces are undefeated while the Tigers are 3-1, as kickoff inside Raidiger Field in Waverly is set for 7 p.m.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

In a potential playoff points pick-me-up, the Tigers \u2013 with wins over Athens and at Fairland \u2013 can make a major move in the Division IV, Region 15 rankings.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

That’s because the Aces are 4-0 in Division V, Region 19, although two of those triumphs are against Liberty Union and Fairfield Union \u2013 both winless on the year.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Amanda is third in Region 19 while Waverly is fourth in Region 15, as the Tigers’ lone loss is against Unioto, which handled them to the tune of 41-14.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

That is the same Sherman squad that the Aces, operating out of the power-I and succeeding, trumped 32-14.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Raidiger Field will also double as Payton’s Place on Friday night.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

While Waverly and its spread-the-field finesse philosophy is paced by senior running back Payton Shoemaker, Amanda-Clearcreek counters with a power-running attack \u2013 engineered by senior quarterback Payton Madison.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Expect the Aces to employ a ball-control style, trying to play defense by keeping Shoemaker on the sidelines.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Jesse Connell is the lead running back and the Aces’ top defensive player, while wide receiver Jayse Miller is a nephew of former legendary A-C head coach Ron Hinton.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Amanda’s aerial assault \u2013 unlike the Tigers \u2013 isn’t expected to be much more than screens, slants and comeback routes.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The Aces have, however, had eight turnovers in the previous three weeks.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
