Colerain Rolls...Again

Colerain's the best high school football team I've ever seen (I've watched them twice on TV). They're very good at EVERY position, and in high school that's freakish. Anyway, they destroyed Worthington Kilbourne in the state semifinals, but check out the second paragraph of this story.

DAYTON - The 2004 Colerain Cardinals remained unbeaten and unchallenged Saturday night, with a 34-3 destruction of Worthington Kilbourne in the Division I state semifinals.

The Cardinals (14-0) will play for the school's first Ohio football title at 7 p.m. next Saturday at Canton's Fawcett Stadium vs. Canton McKinley (11-3).

Ok, you're the best team in Ohio - possibly the best team in the country. You're beating your opponents by an average of 41 points every game. What's your reward? You get to travel to the other side of the state to Canton to play....yep....Canton McKinley. The fact that the Ohio high school championship isn't played in Columbus is a crime. There's clearly a Northeastern bias. It's the equivalent of the Kentucky championship being played in Paducah every year.
