  I'm using the rosters from the league website. After my game in Cincinnati, I slowly made my way to Sidney to cover the Troy Christian at Lehman Catholic game. I made a pit stop in Springboro, hitting the Sheetz, Popeye's, and Planet Fitness before getting to the game The Troy Christian defense made the first statement of the game, when Justin Watkins picked off a bad pass by Quinten Graves just 0:41 seconds into the game. Gabe Wilkins cough the ball up on the ensuing drive, but fortunately for Troy Christian, Charlie Gremling pounced on it like a cougar on an elk to keep the drive alive.  With 8:45 left Wilkins atoned for his fumble by breaking three tackles and then raced for a 14-yard touchdown.
