  *Using the rosters for both teams from Hudl.com* Bainbridge, Ohio- On Friday I made another drive to Paint Valley to battle with S.V.C. for Piketon. Coming into the game, Pait Valley was (6-0) and PIKETON (3-3). Calpreps had the home team favored by 18 points. For those not familiar with Calpreps, they hit about 80% of their games nationwide, doing every 11-man game in the nation.

Midway through the opening quarter, Hatem Mohamed was able to get to the Stars Gavin White, holding the skilled runner short of the first down marker and forcing a punt. Justin Thomas looked to have made a nice play on Akeilles Harrison got the freshman quarterback for a short loss with 5:53 left on the clock, but a face-masking call was made on the play, giving the Vikings a first down. Harrison would connect with TeJuan Barbour for a gain of 45 yards with 4:39 left. Justin Thomas helped end the drive when he got to Harrison for a loss of 11. The Stars ended the quarter with two nice
