Three Cincinnati football teams
are ranked in this week's ESPN Super 25 high school poll
released today.
St. Xavier leads the way at No. 4
followed by Colerain (No. 12) and Elder (No. 20).
The Bombers (3-0) already own two
impressive wins over nationally ranked DeMatha (Md.) and
Cleveland Glenville and can further pad their resume on Friday
night against Kentucky Class 6A powerhouse Louisville Trinity.
Colerain's biggest win to date is
against then-nationally ranked Hoover (Ala.) in week 2.
The Cardinals (3-0) have the easiest go of it this week among
the three ranked teams with a game against winless Mason (0-3)
team.
Elder (3-0) is coming off a close
21-16 win over neighborhood rival Oak Hills but owns huge
41-34 OT win over No. 22 Independence (Charlotte). The
Panthers will be challenged again this week by a strong
Cincinnati La Salle team on the road.
