CINCINNATI — Another Friday night of high school football is in the books in the Tri-State.
Our WCPO 9 Friday Football Game of the Week was a nationally recognized showdown between Moeller and Elder. MaxPreps named the GCL matchup as one of its top 10 high school football games to watch nationally this week.
“It’s going to be electric,” Elder junior quarterback Kaden Estep said. “It’s going to be fun to play in.”
Elder won the game 24-16, leading them to their first GCL South Championship win since 2008. They now have a 7-0 record for the first time since 2001.
