Regional semifinals set; Division I in Cincy
At 10-1 and a No. 2 seed, Northmont High School football coach Lance Schneider is still playing the underdog card.
And he’s probably right this week.
The Thunderbolts are one of two Dayton-area teams battling traditional Cincinnati powers next Saturday, Nov. 8 in the Division I, Region 4 semifinals.
No. 4-seeded Wayne (8-3) tackles top seed Colerain (10-1) at 3 p.m. in one game at Nippert Stadium. Northmont plays Cincinnati Elder (10-1) at 7 p.m.
“No one picked us to win the GWOC Central,” Schneider said after Northmont survived a 28-27 quarterfinal win over Fairmont. “No one picked us to beat Centerville.
“No one believes in us but the guys in the locker room. If we come out on top (against Elder) people will say what a huge upset. If we get beat, we’ll go down swinging.”
Elder smoked Centerville 52-27, so the Thunderbolts know about the challenge that lies ahead.
The same goes for Wayne, which drubbed Cincinnati Woodward 52-0. The Warriors have senior quarterback Ryan Bitsko back on the field, but face a Colerain team which has beaten St. Xavier and Moeller.
