CINCINNATI — Week 5 of the high school football season provided plenty of drama throughout the Tri-State.
Here are your Player of the Week nominees:
- Izayah Camp, Western Hills: The senior running back rushed for 417 yards and four touchdowns in the Mustangs' 28-20 win over visiting Northwest. He had had a pair of two-point conversions, too.
- Ryan Brass, Elder: The senior quarterback rushed for 149 yards and four touchdowns in the Panthers' 31-21 win over host Louisville St. Xavier. He was 8 of 12 passing for 73 yards.
- Justice Burnam, Anderson: The junior quarterback was 17 of 23 passing for 207 yards and four touchdowns in a 51-0 win over visiting Walnut Hills. He also rushed for 46 yards and a touchdown.
- Wil Kraus, Oak Hills: The sophomore quarterback was 18 of 27 passing for 183 yards and a touchdown in a 27-21 win at Sycamore. He had nine carries for 21 yards and two touchdowns.
- Josh Ringer, East Central: The senior running back had 22 carries for 142 yards and three touchdowns in the Trojans' 42-0 win over Batesville. Ringer has rushed for 140 yards or more in each game this season.
In Fort Mitchell, what appeared to be an easy win for Beechwood turned into a huge comeback for Covington Catholic. The Colonels fought their way back from being down 21-0 in the first quarter to win 35-31.
Moeller knocked off St. Xavier 20-10 in a GCL South showdown. The Crusaders' defense shined, forcing a fumble that Alex French was able to run back for a touchdown. Months ago, French was the lucky fan who caught Reds star Elly De La Cruz's very first MLB home run. It's unclear which moment was bigger for him.
Elder traveled down I-71 to Louisville to take on another St. Xavier. The Panthers knocked off their previously unbeaten opponents, 31-21. They'll take on Cincinnati's St. X next week.
Milford continues to be perfect thanks to a big conference win on the road against Kings. The Eagles won 40-21. Sports Information Director Shawn Sell said it's the first time Milford has been 5-0 since 1957.
In another exciting game, Princeton's game-winning touchdown over Hamilton keeps them unbeaten for the first time in 12 years. They won 22-16.
Oak Hills grabbed a big GMC win, defeating Sycamore 27-21.
While it may not have been the prettiest game, Taft is going home with a 14-7 win over Purcell Marian in the WCPO 9 Football Friday Game of the Week.
Lexington's Paul Lawrence Dunbar spoiled homecoming night for Boone County, winning 36-7.
Wyoming made history with its 38-0 victory over Taylor. The win is the Cowboys' 72nd consecutive regular-season win, the longest win streak in Ohio high school football history.
Clinton-Massie stays perfect on the season with a 21-14 win over Harrison.
