The WCPO 9 Game of the Week was a blowout, with Princeton (10-0) beating up on Sycamore (5-5), 42-7. Both teams are playoff bound, but Friday's game gave the Princeton Vikings their first outright Greater Miami Conference title since 1993, and the team's first undefeated season since that same year. The upstart Aviators couldn't get the job done, but overall have had a bounce back season from a winless 2022 campaign (0-10).

Scores for tonight's games will be updated below.

Another game to watch for Week 10 included Elder at La Salle. It came down to the wire on a rain-soaked west side field. La Salle took the early 14-7 lead on a grinding run by Cohen Kreidler near the goal line. But Elder bounced back on the legs of quarterback Ryan Brass. It was a see-saw game overall, but Elder hung on to win 29-24. It's the Panthers third straight win over the Lancers.

Over the river in Northern Kentucky, the district title was on the line when Simon Kenton traveled to Ryle. Ryle struck early with a passing touchdown from Logan Verax to Landon Lorms, but gave it right back on a pick-6 interception by Nathan Kitchens. Simon Kenton took to the run game, putting up another touchdown, but in the end, Ryle's passing game was too much, and the Raiders beat the Pioneers 24-21.

Heading out east, Anderson was playing for a No. 1 seed against Kings. Both teams were in the playoffs before Friday, but Kings was vying for a home game of its own in the playoffs if they won. Kings got out to a 21-7 lead, but that's where it ended. Anderson proved too much for Kings, scoring 34 unanswered to win, 41-21.

Further east, West Clermont welcomed Loveland in a win-and-you're-in situation. And West Clermont got the job done. A hard fought 13-10 victory gives the Wolves new life in the playoffs, thanks to kicker Isaac Cooper.

Going back west (and north), Lakota West and Hamilton came into Friday with identical resumes, both vying for guaranteed home field advantage in the playoffs with a win. The victory was highlighted by quarterback Antonio Mathis, who created time with his legs, but made a huge 40-yard pass with his arm to Marlon Reed for one of the Firebirds touchdowns. Lakota West proved too much for Hamilton, blowing them out 42-14.

One of the few remaining undefeated schools in the Tri-State, Badin was looking to close out its season with a 0 in the loss column over McNicholas. A back-and-forth close game to the end, Badin edged out McNicholas, 38-35 to achieve the perfect 10-0 season. It's the fourth consecutive season the Rams have been undefeated.

Back up north, Fairfield was also in a win-and-you're-in situation against Colerain. And they left no doubt. A 49-7 rout for the Indians sealed the team's trip to the playoffs, and sealed a rare winless season for the Cardinals.

Fairfield's win also sealed the fate for first-year coach Jon Kitna at Lakota East, who had a shot to make the playoffs with a win and some help. But the Thunderhawks didn't hold up their end of the bargain anyway, getting shutout by Mason 24-0.

And over in Indiana, where the playoffs have already begun, a 27-yard touchdown run for East Central was just one small highlight in its 62-7 win over Shelbyville.

For the first time in the school's 114-year history, Milford went undefeated with a 10-0 regular season. Their final regular season victory against Turpin was more of what they've done all year - score. The 42-21 convincing victory awards Milford the outright ECC Title and top seed in the D1, Southwest region. Turpin could still get into the playoffs, but they'll have to wait for the final rankings to confirm.

And to end the evening on another dramatic note, Reading and Mariemont both had playoff-clinching stakes in their game on Warrior Way. It was a close game throughout, with the quarterbacks (both named Charlie) trading scores. Reading had just enough to pull out the W, beating Mariemont 42-34.

The Ohio High School Athletic Association will post the final computer points standings in each of the seven divisions on Saturday night or early Sunday morning and the official playoff pairings will be announced on Sunday afternoon. WCPO 9 will have projections about which teams will play when and where before that. Keep checking back here for more.
