Centerville, Creek steamroll to girls soccer rematch
The Centerville and Beavercreek girls soccer teams were already strong when they entered their significant Greater Western Ohio Conference Central Division matchup on Sept. 23.
Then, after 80 minutes, they still hadn’t decided anything in a 1-1 tie. In fact, it was the second straight tie between the teams over two seasons.
“So after 160 minutes we’re still trying to figure it out,” Beavercreek coach Steve Popp joked afterward.
Since, seemingly on a mission to play each other again, Centerville and Beavercreek have been mostly dominant. The Beavers have gone 8-0 by a combined score of 48-3 in their games since, including a 4-1 tournament victory against Springboro on Monday.
The Elks have the only slip. They’re 8-1 since but lost to Wayne 3-1 in the regular-season finale on Oct. 14. They’ve taken those eight wins by a total margin of 46-3.
Granted, a few of those big wins came in early tournament games against much weaker opponents, but even disregarding the margins, they’re both playing well.
Now, the teams are a combined 34-1-3 as they go into their head-to-head tournament matchup on Thursday at Northmont High School.
And this time, there can’t be a tie.

Lebanon RB Bonny helping Warriors to edge of playoffs
The Lebanon High School football team hasn’t been in the playoffs since 2002, a streak in great compromise heading into Week 10.
Preparing for their regular season finale at Miamisburg (1-8), the Warriors (7-2) stand No. 8 in the Division I, Region 4 computer points. If they win, they won’t get those second-level points, of course. But, they’re also in a better position than, say, No. 9 Centerville, No. 12 Northmont or No. 13 Springboro.
Dusty Isaacs and his passing prowess have been deservedly in the spotlight this season for Lebanon, but running back Trey Bonny has been coming on very strong. In last Friday’s 49-21 win against Xenia, Bonny rushed for 247 yards on 15 carries (16.4 yards per carry).
In the past three weeks, Bonny has gained a total of 537 yards and scored three touchdowns, pumping up the Lebanon rushing game to make defenses lose some attention on the pass.
It will be a Friday night filled with watching other scores for the Lebanon parents and supporters this week, but with the Warriors’ offensive capabilities, opposing defense coordinators might not want to see them make it.
