Middletown High Suffers Midweek Prep Shortfall in Walnut Hills Loss
Middletown High fell 12 to 7 at Barnitz Stadium to Cincinnati Walnut Hills amid limited midweek scrimmage work caused by heavy rain. Coach Jack Gordon blamed missing contact drills for a sluggish defense and stalled offense, with a late drive thwarted by an interception on the 11-yard line. Walnut Hills built a first-half lead on Harris and Stewart touchdowns before Middletown rallied in the third quarter behind Turner and Adams, but could not complete the comeback.
