Hamilton at Colerain

WHEN/WHERE: 7:30 p.m. today at Colerain HS, 8801 Cheviot Road.
RECORDS: Hamilton 1-3 (0-1 GMC), Colerain 3-1 (1-0).

WHAT TO WATCH: Hamilton just took a 42-7 beating from Lakota West, not a good sign when the next opponent is Colerain. Hamilton was held to 44 total yards. Colerain comes off a 42-3 win over Lakota East, which was picked to finish No. 2 to Colerain in the GMC this year. Colerain QB Gary Pride (399 yards rushing this year) and RB Terrence Sherrer (340 yards rushing) are among Colerain's many offensive threats, with the defense led by LBs Tyler Moeller and Cobrani Mixon.

BOTTOM LINE: Colerain, No. 23 in the USA Today ratings, can pretty much name the score.

Colerain at Princeton

WHEN/WHERE: 7:30 p.m. today at Princeton HS, 11080 Chester Road.
RECORDS: Colerain 4-1 (2-0 GMC), Princeton 1-4 (0-2).

WHAT TO WATCH: Colerain seems guaranteed to finish 9-1, with only one Enquirer Top 10 team (No. 10 Oak Hills) left on its schedule. Last week, Colerain led Hamilton 44-0 at halftime of a 51-12 win. Quarterback Gary Pride played only the first half and rushed for 176 yards with four TDs. Princeton has struggled (10 total points the past two games), and last week lost senior QB Darius Edwards to a broken foot. Sophomore B.J. Willis replaces Edwards.

BOTTOM LINE: Colerain should win big again.

H&G-

Does Conner have much experience in pass protection? It seems like Colerain never throws the ball.
Click to expand...

no, he does not...but I can tell you that this question became annoying to Connor during his recruitment. His own words were 'Don't they have coaches in college who can teach me????'

Connor has the tools: Good feet, quickness, good hands and intelligence.

As I have been told, it is better for him to have no experience in pass protection and be taught the correct techniques then to have played with bad habits for three years in high school.
