College Football Rear-View Mirror, week 1
Football Friday Night, week 2
Jon Alder 30, Marysville 21 Jon Alder may have had the pioneering spirit, but Marysville chose to stay in New York and dwell in the slums. DeSales 41, Maumee 0 Maumee apparently has the team speed of a mummy. Solon 42, Worthington Kilbourne 13 This Solon certainly gave Kilbourne the full treatment. Ada 70,...
