Cincinnati Big-School Division - FINAL RANKINGS

1. Elder (9-1) – Received seven first place votes and finished the regular season undefeated in the tough Greater Catholic League South Division and against local competition. The Panthers only loss came against St. Thomas Aquinas, FL early in the season who had the son of Ohio State and NFL great Chris Carter.

2. Colerain (9-1) – Restored order in the Greater Miami Conference by crushing their last three opponents to win yet another conference title after suffering their only loss of the season to Middletown. The Cardinals 9-1 (6-1) are led by a sophomore tandem of Tyler Williams and Traylon Durham who both rushed for more than 1,000 yards, another GMC title and will face Moeller in the first round of the playoffs.

3. Moeller (6-4) – The Crusaders held on to a 17-14 win over St. Xavier to propel them into the playoffs. Jr. QB Andrew Hendrix and the rest of his team head back to Colerain with the thought of upset on their mind for the playoffs.

4. Sycamore (8-2) – Many felt coming into the season that the Aves would dethrone Colerain as the GMC champions but an unlikely loss to Hamilton robbed them of that opportunity as well as a playoff spot. Not to be lost however was the incredible performance from senior RB Bud Golden who rushed for more than 1,500 yards.

5. Hamilton (7-3) – Like the Aves of Sycamore the Big Blue had a good season but not what they were expecting as wins over Sycamore and Middletown were a highlight to the season but unfortunate losses to Princeton and Oak Hills spelled their doom and eliminated them from playoff contention.

Cincinnati Small-School Division - FINAL RANKINGS

1. Anderson (8-2) – Look to defend their state championship from last season behind junior RB Kyle Slater who has rushed for more than 1,300 yards this season. The Redskins’ only losses came against Winton Woods and St. Francis De Sales or Columbus.

2. Winton Woods (9-1) – The Warriors are trying to figure out how they finished behind Anderson in the polls with only one loss on the season and having beat Anderson head-to-head 23-13

3. Kings (7-3) – The Knights ran off five consecutive wins to finish the season and a first round playoff matchup with Turpin whom they beat during the regular season 41-10

4. Turpin (9-1) – Having lost only to Kings during the regular season the Spartans are chomping at the bit to return the favor but this time with more at stake.

5. Edgewood (8-2) – An 8-2 record and state playoff birth is something to be proud of but drawing #1 Anderson in the first round of the playoffs is tough. Edgewood will look to keep their winning ways alive as they have won their last five.
