St. Xavier or Colerain?

The ongoing question is whether St. Xavier or Colerain is the better football team at this point of the season. Yes, we're only in Week 7, but the look ahead toward the postseason is tempting.

St. X has had more national attention - and is ranked higher in most national polls. The Bombers have defeated top competition, including DeMatha (Md.), Louisville Trinity and Cleveland Glenville, not to mention a shut out of Elder last week.

But, Colerain is also nationally ranked. The Cardinals defeated Hoover (Ala.) 20-17 in overtime earlier this year and have been breezed through their schedule the past few weeks.

Also remember Colerain defeated the Bombers in the regional final last season at Nippert Stadium.

St. X hosts La Salle this Friday. The Bombers are 10-0 in GCL-South games over the past few seasons.

Colerain has won 25 consecutive regular-season games and over 50 GMC games. The Cardinals host Lakota West on Friday and will certainly be the favorites.

So I ask, which team would win the St. X-Colerain game if it were played this week? Feel free to leave your thoughts here.

Mason soccer team has tough road.

The Mason boy's soccer team is currently undefeated overall and sits atop the GMC standings with Lakota West and East with perfect records.

Due to a rain out last Thursday, yes a rain out in West Chester, the game between Mason and Lakota West was rescheduled for tonight.

Mason will have less than 24 hours to recover from that game before they have to travel to Lakota East to play their second game in two days.

Should Mason come out of both contests with their perfect record still intact, the Comets deserve applause for their accomplishments.

What a way to start their first year in the GMC.
