This week, Hillsboro faces another SBC foe.

The Rockets come into the game at 0-2 having lost to Fayetteville 38-6 and Amelia 47-14.

The Indians defeated CNE 39-0 last season.

Logan Elm at Miami Trace

The Panthers need a defensive rejuvenation. They’ve lost 41-21 to Circleville and 34-16 to Carlisle in two weeks.

Logan Elm lost to Zane Trace 34-28 in overtime in the season opener then bounced back with a 54-12 win over Westfall.

Logan Elm, a playoff team in 2014, came out on top in last season’s matchup 40-21.

The Pioneers are 2-0, with wins over Logan Elm, 34-28 in OT, and Waverly, 35-6.

Zane Trace was 7-3 in 2014 but struggled a bit in a 33-21 win over the Tigers.

Teays Valley at Chillicothe

The Cavaliers have a couple of close losses on their ledger. That’s not terribly satisfying but it means they have been close, losing 14-10 to Johnstown-Monroe in the opener and the 19-16 in overtime to Jackson last week.

Teays Valley is 1-1. The Vikings, a former SCOL member, blanked Westfall 38-0 to start the year then lost to unbeaten Logan 27-7

Teays Valley defeated Chillicothe 28-21 a year ago, one of three closes losses for the Cavs.

Gallia Academy at Washington

Washington’s offense has struggled in a pair of losses — 14-7 to Johnstown Northridge in Week 1 and 39-7 to Circleville in Week 2.

Something has to give this week as Gallia Academy comes in at 0-2 as well. The Blue Devils lost to unbeaten Meigs 26-12 in the first game and then to unbeaten River Valley 27-13 last week.

Who will truly be “blue” at 0-3 after this week’s game?

The teams did not play in 2014.
