Boone County 49 - Campbell County 12

Campbell County likes to pass. Boone County likes to run. Friday night, the run won.

The Rebels ran the football on all but three plays and beat the visiting Camels 49-12 in the Class 6A district opener for both teams.
 
http://news.cincinnati.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/AB/20090925/SPT030201/309250090/
 

Boone County (2-3) was so effective running the ball behind its massive offensive line, its leading rusher Charles Quainoo actually dragged down the Rebels’ yards-per-carry average.

Quainoo, a senior, carried 35 times for 252 yards for a robust 7.2 yards per carry, while pushing his season rushing total to 858 yards. Quainoo had three rushing touchdowns. He ran 21 yards for the game’s first score at 9:18 of the first quarter.

He scored on a 1-yard run in the second quarter as Boone County took a 21-6 lead.

He added a 3-yard scoring run late in the third quarter as the Rebels extended the lead to 42-12.

"Our blocking was great," Quainoo said. "The offensive line definitely did a great job tonight. Everybody ran well. My boy (Jordan Oppenheimer) was doing his thing, too. He was running and blocking like crazy."

Oppenheimer averaged 9.1 yards per carry and just missed joining Quainoo in Friday night’s 100-yard club with 91 yards on 10 carries. Oppenheimer, a junior and heir apparent to Quainoo as the Rebels’ starting tailback, added a pair of rushing touchdowns. He scored on a 19-yard second-quarter run to help give the Rebels a 28-12 lead, and added a 3-yard touchdown in the fourth quarter for the game’s final score.

Not to be outdone Friday when it came to rushing efficiency, Boone quarterback Nate Alford averaged 22 yards per carry with three rushes for 66 yards. Alford, who finished 1-for-3 passing for 10 yards, scored on a 45-yard keeper in the first quarter and ran 20 yards for a score in the third against the Camels (2-3).

Boone scored on its first seven possessions and amassed 415 rushing yards behind a starting line that includes tackles Kevin Seiter and Chris Fookes, guards Blake Noel and Tyler Potter, center Drew Lipscomb and tight end Trevan Brown.

Friday’s victory snapped a three-game losing streak for the Rebels, ranked tied for fifth in the Enquirer Northern Kentucky coaches’ poll.

"We’re 1-0 in the district," Boone coach Rick Thompson said. "I’d like to have showed up a little better the first four games, but these are the games that count."

After allowing an average of 38 points per game the first four contests, the Rebels’ defense clamped down against the one-dimensional Camels, who relied too much on the passing and scrambling ability of quarterback Michael Kremer.

Kremer finished 16-for-26 passing for 161 yards with two touchdowns to running back Danny Glasgow, and one interception. The Camels, ranked eighth locally, were held to less than 100 yards on the ground.

"This is exactly what we needed on defense. We wrapped up on the tackle and drove with our feet to take them down," said Boone linebacker Jake Deason.

Deason stripped the ball from Kremer in the backfield on a third-quarter first-down play, giving the Rebels possession near midfield. Rebels end Adam Sunderhaus had a third-quarter sack. Boone defensive back Cody Louden had a fourth-quarter interception.

"We took steps forward on defense," coach Thompson said. "Kremer gave us some problems when he took off out of the pocket. But, for the most part, we did a lot better on defense."

Campbell County 21 - Newport Catholic 17

While NewCath was able to control the clock, penalties and turnovers cost them mightily. On all but one possession, the ‘Breds drove inside the Camels 35-yard line but were repeatedly turned away by mistakes and a staunch Campbell defense.


It had been a long six years since Campbell County had walked away a winner on the gridiron against its county rival Newport Central Catholic, so when the opportunity to strike presented itself, the Camels didn’t hesitate.

Trailing 17-14, on the first play after recovering a NewCath fumble, Campbell County quarterback Michael Kremer connected on a 48-yard pass with receiver Matt Smith putting the Camels in scoring position. One play later Kremer scrambled six yards for a touchdown, giving his team a 21-17 lead and eventual victory.

According to Campbell County coach Troy Styer, the play was drawn up in hopes of swaying the games momentum in the Camels favor.

“In football, anytime there is a turnover in a close game, the next play you want to go for the home run. That’s what we were looking for there,” Styer said. “(Kremer) did a good job of finding Smitty open and getting him the ball.”

The 48-yard pass was just a sample of what the Camels were able to do with their pass offense throughout the game.

Kremer finished completing 22 of 37 passes for 316 yards and two touchdowns.

Three different Campbell receivers finished with over 60 yards receiving, led by Nate Geiman’s six catches for 95 yards. Kremer’s ability to improvise and throw on the run gave the Thoroughbreds defense fits.

“That quarterback was amazing at keeping the plays going when we rushed the pocket,” NewCath head coach Bob Schneider said. “He does a heck of a job of getting away from the rush and finding the open man.”

Early in the game the NewCath offense kept Kremer and the Campbell County passing attack at bay by controlling the clock with its running game. The ‘Breds pounded the Campbell County defense with run after run from quarterback Brady Hightchew and running back Chris Kelly. That combination kept the chains moving and the Camels offense off the field limiting them to just 29 plays from scrimmage in that span.

In the third quarter alone, Kelly rushed 14 times for 88 yards and finished with 34 carries for 197 yards and two touchdowns.

“We literally couldn’t get on the field long enough for our offense to do anything,” Styer said. “It wasn’t that we weren’t executing in the first half, it was that NewCath was doing a great job of controlling the game.”

At one point, Campbell trailed 17-7 late in the third quarter, facing a 3rd and 6 at midfield when Austin Johnson caught a screen pass from Kremer before scampering 49 yards for the score to put the Camels right back in the thick of things.

“Those are killers,” Schneider said of his team’s first half penalties. “Stuff like that is what takes you out of games. Those opportunities to score, especially in the first half, really hurt us.”

Covington Catholic 33 - Campbell County 14

By Marc Hardin • Enquirer contributor • September 11, 2009

Dave Wirth earned his first coaching victory at Covington Catholic on Friday, guiding the Colonels to a 33-14 win at Campbell County.

Wirth, a former Badin football coach who moved his family from Hamilton, Ohio, to Edgewood so he can be closer to his new team, was relieved he had his first Colonels win in hand, as they improved to 1-3.

Campbell County, ranked eighth in the Enquirer Northern Kentucky coaches’ poll, fell to 1-2.

"It’s exciting to finally get that first win," Wirth said. "We got the monkey off our backs after three tough losses."

One of the first people to congratulate Wirth was former Colonels head coach Lynn Ray, who won 232 games and five state championships while coaching CovCath for 30 years.

"He’s worked his tail off, so he really deserves this," said Ray, who was coaxed out of coaching retirement by Wirth and put in charge of the linebackers. "The guy puts 90 hours a week in preparing this team, so I know the team wanted him to get this."

Wirth, now just 231 wins away from Ray at the top of CovCath’s career victory list, had plenty of credit to pass around Friday night as he savored the moment.

The offense rolled up 383 yards, 205 rushing. Option quarterback Brayden Erpenbeck amassed 308 total yards, 131 of that on the ground on 26 carries. He rushed for a pair of touchdowns, including a 2-yard second-quarter keeper that proved to be the winning score while giving the Colonels a 19-14 lead.

Erpenbeck’s ensuing two-point conversion pass to receiver Alex Connelly made it 21-14.

Erpenbeck completed 16 of 24 passes for 178 yards. Connelly had eight receptions for 101 yards. Tight end Beau Geisen had four catches for 57 yards and 31-yard first-quarter touchdown reception, on his 18th birthday.

CovCath tailback Leo Schaefer rushed 15 times for 64 yards and scored on a nine-yard touchdown run in the fourth quarter.

"It’s feels so great to finally get this win for coach Wirth," Erpenbeck said. "He moved his whole family from Hamilton so we can turn things around at CovCath, and we’re just so happy to win for him, and for us."

CovCath held the Camels to minus-11 rushing yards. Defensive heroes included linebacker Andy Deglow, who led the unranked Colonels with nine total tackles and recorded a sack, and defensive backs Neil Martin and Chris Garnick, both of whom came up with interceptions.

"Our defense has really stepped it up this year. That was one of the problems last year," Deglow said. "Our defensive coordinator (Todd Naumann) and coach Ray are really helping us improve."

Leading the Camels offensively were quarterback Michael Kremer, who finished 21-of-42 passing for 222 yards; receiver Nate Geiman, who had six catches for 65 yards and a pair of touchdown receptions; and receiver Matt Smith, who averaged 22.7 yards on three catches.

Campbell County coach Troy Styer lamented the lack of a running game, which made the Camels too one-dimensional and enabled CovCath to load up on the pass.

"Running the football is not our (thing) right now," Styer said. "We’ll get better running the ball as time goes on, and hopefully we’ll be more balanced."
