MVHC: Players of the Game – Week Twelve

ZANESVILLE, OH – Local area teams entered Week 12 of the high school football playoffs with eyes on advancing in their respective regions and divisions. WHIZ’s radio stations hit the road to cover a pair of regional quarterfinal games, coming away with two more “MVHC: Players of the Game”.

The crew from Z92 radio racked up the miles, heading out to Harley Field for a Division III battle between sixth-seeded Sheridan and third-seeded Columbus East. Always the underdog in this matchup, the Generals can hold their heads high despite a week twelve loss. Connor Roshon wrapped up his football career by showing off the hands on defense, coming away with a late interception to keep the Generals alive in that game.

It was not all that easy, but New Lexington ultimately finished off a stubborn Heath team in a Division IV regional quarterfinal bout. The Panthers are now moving on to Week 13, in large part thanks to Caron McCoy’s effort on defense. The junior safety record a “pick six” along with seven tackles in the 24-17 Week 12 win.

Congratulations to both athletes.
