Trotwood Holds Off Springfield in Game of the Week

The Trotwood Rams honored coach Maurice Douglass during the game as the current Springfield coach helped lead the Rams to their first title. However the Springfield coach wanted nothing more than to sneak out with a win, with their starting quarterback sidelined.

However, the Rams took advantage of some early miscues, came out firing and was able to hold off the Cats in the 2nd half of a intense 21-20 victory at Trotwood HS. 

Trotwood DB Michael Smith ran a interception back on the Wildcats first drive, which set the tone for the Rams.

Trotwood would take a 21-14 lead into half, and would preserve that lead as the Wildcats would miss a extra point to tie the game, then fabolous freshman Darius Dennis ended the game with a huge interception to send the Rams into a frenzy, and send them to a 2-1 record. 

WR Armani Rodgers was brilliant early, and the combo of him and Star QB Tim Carpenter shined brightly in the 1st half.

Springfield would dictate the 2nd half of the game, but was not able to turn that into a win, as the Wildcats now sit at 1-2 in the early season heading into a big rivalry game at Wayne HS this weekend.

 Trotwood defense was led by Jamarcus Whyce with 5 tackles and a forced fumble while Keymaurie Henderson led the team with 8 tackles and a sack.

Mark Alstork to Be Assistant Coach

"I want to thank Clark State, the Athletic Director and the selection committee for giving me a chance. I also want to thank my family, friends, and supporters who have stuck by me. And last, I want to give a special thanks to the coaches who have given me a chance over the years." Alstork stated.

Alstork has also made a point to add his brother, who was a college hoop star at Wright State before hooping at Illinois and overseas, as Mark Alstork will be sitting next to big bro in his first season. 

"It's a honor to have Mark on the staff. I'm very excited for the season and the future." Very glad to have Mark's experience alongside our great staff and team this season at Clark State."

Troy Overcomes Sloppy 1st Half, Stays Undefeated Against Butler on Thursday Night Lights

 Troy Overcomes Sloppy 1st Half, Stays Undefeated Against Butler on Thursday Night Lights

By Deon Cash  

The Troy Trojans had their way the first two games of the football season, as the running game powered its way to two blowout wins in the process.

However the Butler Aviators came out and showed they wasn't the same pushovers they had been in previous seasons and played the Trojans with physical defense and intensity from the start.

While offensively Butler wasn't able to get much going, they were able to shut down the vaunted Troy offense that had been unstoppable in the previous two games, as RB Jahari Ward had run wild. Butler would walk into halftime in a scoreless game.

Troy, on the other hand, had to be a little disturbed that they had 2 touchdowns called back (due to penalties) and a missed field goal to boot at the end of the half.

In the second half it was a different story, as the Trojans would score on its first possession and wouldn't look back en route to a 16-7 win in front of a packed home crowd in week 3 of Thursday Night Lights.

Butler would score to make it 14-7, and would also have a chance to tie the game with the ball late in the game.

But Troy would get a sack in the end zone with less than 2 minutes left in the game, which would end Butler's comeback hopes.

Butler falls to 1-2 on the season, while Troy moves to 3-0 and stays in 1st place in the Miami Valley League. 

Jahari Ward would run for 75 hard earned yards to lead the offense. While the "Aiden Connection" was gold, as Kirpatrick to Gorman resulted in a 44-yard TD pass helped lead Troy to a win.

Star LB Devon Stobel led the Trojans with 7 tackles, a sack, and 3 Tackles for loss. 

Butler only managed 130 yards of total offense in the loss. Kaiden Bates ran a 10-yard TD to lead the offense while LB Sam Mitchell had 9 tackles, 3 Tackles for loss and a interception to lead the Butler defense.

The West Carrollton YMCA hoop teams, led by coaches Dameon Monie, Jenny Moreland and Gene Spivey, did something no YMCA team has done in the youth basketball circuit.

They won the 10U, 12U, and the Junior High divisions all in one season, which is quite a feat.

 And on top of that, the West Carrollton YMCA team won all 3 games in dramatic fashion as well.

The 10U team defeated YMCA South 38-36 as Issyl Tre Moreland, Evan Harner, Jordan Horton and Kylee Steinman led the team to the championship. Muhammad Safi hit the game winning shot.

I just want to thank the parents, the coaches, and the Y for giving my son and others a chance to do this. They deserve it. They work hard and are learning to play the right way. 

It was a huge thrill for the entire organization who has been in the Y basketball program for a few years now. But this is easily the best success they have had in the youth basketball  program. 

Monie has grabbed the reins and has shown he has the tools to be a solid coach for a staff or as a head coach somewhere in middle school. 

The teams will be honored at Week 4 of the Unsigned Hype Basketball Series that will air on TV in September.  They will be honored today at the Salvation Army Kroc Center from 5:30-8.  

"I just want to thank the kids, the parents, the coaches, and the Y for giving my son and others a chance to do this. They deserve it. They work hard and are learning to play the right way. It don't matter where you learn how to play.  Jus play the right way and play to win." Coach Monie stated. 

Congratulations to the West Carrollton YMCA basketball program for a 1st ever achievement and stamping their name in the YMCA basketball history books. Watch out for this group in the future years as well.
