CINCINNATI — It was another great week of high school football here in the Tri-State, with plenty of matchups between teams that have their sights set on the playoffs.
The WCPO 9 Game of the Week was a highly-anticipated Southwest Ohio Conference showdown between Harrison and Mount Healthy.
On the very first play out of scrimmage, Harrison's Cole Koops took the ball 65 yards for a touchdown. Harrison never gave up that lead, with its defense making some huge plays — including two pix-sixes to help lead the Wildcats to a 49-26 win.
Bearcats head coach Scott Satterfield was sat for the Moeller vs. Elder matchup at Nippert Stadium where Big Moe handled things with ease, winning 42-12.
St. X is coming back from Louisville with a loss to Trinity, falling 7-3 on the road.
Despite a nice catch and finish for Turpin's CJ Elliott, the Spartans couldn't do much against hosts Anderson, losing to the Raptors 56-13.
McNicholas' stone wall defense was able to hold Alter to just one field goal, nabbing a 7-3 win.
Since 2019 a team has not won the Mariemont-Madeira matchup in back-to-back seasons — and that trend continues as the Mustangs won 35-9, spoiling Madeira's homecoming.
Hamilton's physicality proved to be too much for Fairfield, winning 42-21.
Special teams was the deciding factor between Middletown and Mason, with Mason ruining the Middies' homecoming with a 17-14 win.
Princeton took care of business against Oak Hills, winning 23-10.
Ryle, ranked No. 6 in Class 6A, made the trip to Louisville to take on St. X, ranked No. 3. Despite their best efforts, the Raiders fell 31-24.
Back in Northern Kentucky, Highlands blanked Dixie Heights, winning 49-0.
After winning their first four games of the season, Bishop Brossart fell last week at Lloyd Memorial. They're back in the win column with a 21-14 victory over Paris.
