Middies roll over Colerain in 27-15 win on lightning strikes
Middletown uses big plays and three Mitchell TDs to defeat Colerain 27-15. Larry James, Greg Armstrong and a 65 yard punt return help widen the gap while Meinerding passes for Colerain. Middle defense limits ground yards but struggles with pass coverage as Gordon ruefully notes careless play.
