Friday Frenzy's Game of the Week was Badin at Withrow. While the two teams are in different divisions, their coaches were hoping to give players a challenge early on this regular season.
Badin rallied from a three-point halftime deficit to defeat Withrow 24-17 in an intriguing non-conference matchup between the Division III Rams and Division II Tigers.
"It's been a while since we've been in some close ones like that but that's what we needed," Badin coach Nick Yordy said.
In Colerain, Fairfield quarterback Talon Fischer was able to lead his team to a 34-7 win over the Cardinals.
Every point mattered for Cincinnati Country Day, who was able to beat Dohn Community High School 23-22.
Loveland's students had some fun Friday night as the team took on Milford, but it wasn't enough to will their squad to a win. Milford's defense was ball hunting all night and the team's offense dominated in head coach Tom Grippa's first game back since a heart procedure.
Senior running back Natwan Webster had 11 carries for 39 yards and three touchdowns. He also had four receptions for 44 yards and touchdown. Milford won 47-21.
In Northern Kentucky, Ryle did enough to beat Cooper 13-10.
Covington Catholic's defense led the team to a 7-6 victory at Lexington Catholic.
