Good and bad news day at Middle OB luncheon
Middie Quarterback Club heard coach Jack Gordon discuss Friday's 14-10 loss to Kettering Alter while praising the junior varsity, led by Rick Burns, which is 5-0 after a 3-0 win over Cincinnati Moeller. Burns noted 32 sophomores on the JV, with seven capable running backs and solid players at every position. The Middle JV hosts Alter on Thursday at Barnitz Stadium, 6 p.m. Burns emphasized depth and speed, and Gordon analyzed the loss, citing three mental errors on a key late play and noting two Alter touchdowns came from different routes. He praised ball movement of about 250 yards and a strong defensive effort, and warned Lima Senior looms Friday as a passing team. Gordon said a team meeting would boost morale.
