Still looking
And then there were 10.
That’s how many winless football teams remain in the area midway through the regular season. Yellow Springs, Bethel and Indian Lake posted their first wins last week.
The Bulldogs (1-4) leaned on some final-minute dramatics. Ridgemont scored with two minutes left to lead 22-20. YS struck back with a 54-yard strike from Ryan Newsome to Raphael Allen. That put kicker Joe Fugate in field goal range, and he delivered a game-winning 22-yarder with 25.8 seconds left.
Bethel beat National Trail 24-21 in a battle of winless Cross County Conference rivals and Indian Lake stunned Bellefontaine 14-7 in a Central Buckeye Conference game. The Chieftains were 9-2 last season, falling only to unbeaten Tippecanoe in the regular season and in their D-III opening playoff game to Shelby.
Ten still looking for wins: Belmont, Bradford, Jefferson, Marshall, Monroe, National Trail, Stebbins, Trotwood-Madison, Vandalia Butler and West Carrollton. All are 0-5 except Belmont and Jefferson, both 0-4.
National Trail has has the longest running losing streak at 26. Stebbins is next at 15.

You need to get your facts straight. Even though they are not good, Stebbins has won one game this season.That tells me that the team they beat must really be bad.
