It’s Northmont vs. Lakota West, Wayne vs. Princeton in Skyline Chili Crosstown Showdown
DAYTON — It’ll be the Greater Western Ohio Conference vs. the Greater Miami Conference at Welcome Stadium on the high school football season-opening 12th annual Skyline Chili Crosstown Showdown.
In a doubleheader on Friday, Aug. 28, Northmont will play Lakota West at 6 p.m, followed by Wayne vs. Princeton at 8:30 p.m.
The Wayne/Princeton matchup will feature two of the state’s best quarterbacks in Braxton Miller (Wayne) and Spencer Ware (Princeton). Miller is being recruited by Ohio State University. Like Miller, Ware is being pursued by many BCS heavyweights, and also is being wooed by big-time baseball programs.
“It should be a great night at the stadium with both of us,” said Northmont coach Lance Schneider after the matchups were finalized on Tuesday.
“With Miller and Ware in one game, it’ll be well worth the price of admission.”
Cincinnati teams will play in a doubleheader that Friday at UC’s Nippert Stadium. On Saturday, four more games will be played at Nippert, none featuring area teams.
None of the Welcome Stadium teams have played each other this decade. Wayne beat Lakota West 20-17 in last season’s Showdown and Northmont defeated Mason 28-17.
Wayne also defeated East St. Louis (Ill.) in last year’s Kirk Herbstreit Series. East St. Louis will play Cincinnati Elder in the nightcap of Saturday’s games at Nippert.
The Kirk Herbstreit Series will feature doubleheaders at Ohio Stadium in Columbus on Aug. 29-30. No area teams will play.
Northmont (10-2) lost to only Division I state champion Cleveland St. Ignatius and state runner-up Cincinnati Elder last season. The Thunderbolts will be at St. Ig in Week 2.
“We have to replace a lot of guys,” Schneider said. “We’ve got a long way to go. Thank goodness it’s only June.”
After Princeton, all that awaits the Warriors in their two other non-league games is Week 2 vs. Canton McKinley at Fawcett Stadium and Week 3 vs. visiting Cleveland Glenville. Both programs have produced scores of D-I players over the years and are consistent playoff participants.
Both those games are on Saturday nights.
Tickets for the Crosstown Showdown games will go on sale at each school’s athletic office on July 1. Cost is $10, good for both games and $12 on game day.

What is marc pendleputz talking about? Northmont only lost to St. Ignatius once last year. Northmont’s other loss was to Elder. Does anyone check these things before they are written? Where’d he get the info from, Dave Long? Pendleton should stick to editing stuff. Better yet, he shouldn’t do anythikng. Nice job as always DDN!

I’d say, Northmont over Lakota West. Wayne over Princeton. And, Moeller is the team to beat from the Cincy area this season.

This inaccurate reporting is why no one has any respect for the DDN. Its a third rate media outlet with third rate writers like Marc Pendleton and Sean McClelland. At least I can get

There are many people out of work right now, at least pay someone who actually watches high school sports to report on them. Whats the over/under on how many days before the DDN goes out of business?

While Fairmont plays Alter.It’s a great rivalry, long history, Alter is a great powerhouse, great team, no disrespect, but with the OHSAA Rules to postseason, it doesn’t benefit Fairmont as much as Alter. Fairmont would be better off playing Sycamore, Middletown, or another GMC school.

hey huh, the article says that “Northmont (10-2) lost to only Division I state champion Cleveland St. Ignatius AND state runner-up Cincinnati Elder last season. THAT NORMALLY MEANS THAT THEY LOST TWICE. GET A PAIR OF GLASSES.

I agree, learn how to read. “Northmont (10-2) lost to only Division I state champion Cleveland St. Ignatius AND state runner-up Cincinnati Elder last season. THAT NORMALLY MEANS THAT THEY LOST TWICE. GET A PAIR OF GLASSES.

Having the Warriors play a 5-5 team is another brilliant ploy by our resident Huber grid genius (who is referred to affectionately by those who coach the lesser sports at Wayne as “The Wolf”). Greenon should be taking notes— there are subtler ways to brainwash teens into believing that they don’t really like hoops as much as they think they do. Jay Minton wrote the book on football intimidation and “keeping the other sports placated.” You can be so proud of what you have done, Coach Jay. Warriors, Rah!
