Wayne (7-1) vs. Northmont (7-1)

When: 7:30 p.m. today

Where: Northmont Stadium, Clayton

Radio: WONE-AM (980), WOXR-FM (97.7)

2004 result: Did not play

Outlook: This game wraps up the Centerville-Wayne-Northmont regular-season trilogy. If Wayne's 38-0 win over Centerville is any indication, Northmont (which lost to the Elks, 20-7) could be in trouble. But not so fast, high school football fans. These games are all about matchups. The Warriors found a way to slow Centerville's running game and cashed in after two fumbles. This time, Wayne must slow Northmont's offense. QB Clay Belton (235 yards passing per game, 58 percent passing, 20 TDs and 10 INTs), RB A.J. Combest (94 yards rushing per game, 8 TDs) and WR Justin Watkins (104 yards receiving per game, 8 TDs) are the key cogs. OSU defensive back recruit Kurt Coleman adds a breakaway threat on special teams. While Centerville vs. Wayne may have been offense vs. defense, this one might be offense vs. offense. Wayne's defenders have improved, while the offense has diversified. QB Alex Earley (209 yards passing average, 66 rushing average) showed no effects of a shoulder injury against Centerville. He's thrown for 14 TDs and scored 7 himself. RBs Jon Johnson, Joe Gilford and Donnie Evege provide three different looks and WR Billy Viers (65 yards average, 6 TDs) is second only to Watkins in the GWOC. As always, special teams and turnovers will provide momentum swings. Northmont's defense must hang in early while its offense avoids the problems it had against Centerville. Wayne's DBs will be tested, but that will be lessened if the D-line can get to Belton. And remember, depending on the seedings, this may be a playoff preview.

Northmont (7-2) vs. Troy (7-2)

When: 7:30 p.m. today

Where: Memorial Stadium, Troy

Radio/TV: WONE-AM (980), Ch. 13

2004 result: Northmont, 42-35

Outlook: Northmont (4-0) has more at stake than only the GWOC Western Division title. The Thunderbolts need a win to qualify for the D-I, Region 4 playoffs. Troy (3-1) is a longshot at No. 12. If Troy wins, a 3-way tie could result with a Piqua win over Butler. The Trojans need a big game from the defense to halt Northmont's air attack. The T-Bolts are the only GWOC offense with 2,000 yards passing (2,146). On the flip side, Troy has 528. But the Trojans get it done on the ground with a GWOC-best 2,675 yards. Northmont has playmakers in A.J. Combest, Justin Watkins and Kurt Coleman, who all rank among the leaders in the all-purpose yards. QB Clay Belton tops the GWOC in passing (2,119) and TDs (21), but also has a league-high 10 INTs. Troy's Daniel McCormick ranks fourth in the GWOC with 1,138 yards and leads with 16 rushing TDs.
