Troy-Piqua playing for even more than pride this time around

This is no ordinary week for high school football in the Miami Valley.

It’s Piqua-Troy Week.

The 132nd Aversion of the most-played rivalry in the state of Ohio has more than pride on the line, too.

The Indians (7-2, 4-0) and Trojans (8-1, 4-0) will decide the champion of the GWOC American North, and a win would lock up a playoff spot for Piqua.

Troy, after going 2-8 last season, already has a playoff spot locked up, but the Indians still have some work to do if they want to play an 11th game this season.

Piqua has won the last four games between the rivals to move ahead 63-62-6 in the all-time series.
