Week 7 of the Greater Cincinnati high school football season belonged to the playmakers Friday night, with quarterbacks and running backs piling up huge numbers across the region’s biggest rivalry games.
Elder’s Kaden Estep threw for 367 yards and three touchdowns, though it wasn’t enough in a 35-28 loss to Moeller. Moeller’s Juice Glover-Brown answered with 205 rushing yards and three scores of his own. Colerain’s Roman Garr went 26-of-44 for 352 yards, five touchdowns and an interception in a 41-23 win at Sycamore, while Lakota East’s Nile Knutson nearly engineered a 20-point comeback with 443 passing yards and three touchdowns in a 35-31 loss at Fairfield.

Highlands rolled past Covington Catholic 38-20 behind Bryce Armstrong’s 102 rushing yards, 75 passing yards and two touchdowns, plus Colt Kremer’s 71 rushing yards and two scores — a performance that earned Kremer Skyline Chili Crosstown Showdown MVP honors.
Lakota West’s Karmelo Jordan caught five passes for 135 yards, including a 67-yard touchdown, in a 25-0 shutout at Middletown, and Harrison’s Brady Lawhon went 12-of-16 for 306 yards and four touchdowns in a 49-13 rout of Mount Healthy.
