  Just missed On Saturday morning, I made my way from Columbus, Ohio, to South Charleston, West Virginia, to take in the West Virginia North vs. South game. I.M.O., this game is played when all-star games should be played, and that is Saturday afternoon, and the crowd this one brings shows that that statement could be true. Early in the opening quarter, Luke Hudson (University) hit Landon Frey (North Marion) for a nice 15-yard catch on third and nine. Later in the quarter, Hudson found Brayden Carder (Lewis County) for 14 yards. The South defense got the early hit of the game when Ethan Holliday (Greenbrier West) leveled Zach Bender (Spring Mills) for a four-yard loss after the reception.

  On Friday, I made the drive from Columbus, Ohio, to New Lexington to catch the Licking County vs. Muskingum Valley All-Star game played at Jim Rockwell Stadium. Licking County would try a fake punt deep in their own territory, but Muskingum was prepared for it with Caneron Barnhouse (John Glenn) easy-planting Jacob Wheeler (Licking Valley) into the turf well short of the first down marker. Riley Woodie (Coshocton) caped off the 6-play 29-yard drive with a 4-yard touchdown run to make this a 6-0 game, with 8:51 showing on the first quarter clock. Later in the quarter, Ashton Sensibaugh (Tri-Valley) would be tackled on his own 12-yard line when he tried to make something out of nothing, when the long snapper snap was bad on a punt try. Brayden Bayles (Heath) would scramble to his right, avoiding a few would-be tacklers to waltz into the end zone, tying this one up at six. Noah Musick Granville gave Licking County the 7-6 lead when his point-after-kick was true. Woodie would pick u
