Walton Verona 34 Bellevue 21

Proud of these Bearcats , great game from the line to the skill positions . Glad to see the coach opening up the play book and using all his weapons. Remember that this bearcat group beat Bellevue as a J V squad 2 years ago three weeks in a row at Bellevue . These kids are starting to get it.

Was waiting for someone to bring this up. The group of seniors and juniors at Walton had a great start when they were freshman and sophomores playing against future district foes. Lest we forget that JV team went undefeated and hammered Ludlow, Brossart, and Dayton while beating Bellevue 3 times. I believe that team was run by some young guy I didn't know, still on staff? Which was why some of us were so surprised last year when Walton didnt win a single district game. Also notice that the level of talent in this district is leaving the river and heading elsewhere. Ludlow, Dayton, and Bellevue are nowhere near as talented as they have been in the past. This district is a one man show in Beechwood. It will be interesting to see how this 1A district outside of Beechwood will fare in the playoffs. Look for more wins down the road for Walton this year, they picked a heckuva year for some success--everybody would tell you this district is soft....(minus Beechwood for all you Fort whatevers)... Dayton hasn't played a close game against an average opponent all year, Ludlow has struggled against anybody not named Bracken, and Brossart's schedule looks like 8 man football from the 90's, Bellevue harder to figure out since they do play a decent pre-district schedule (holy cross, holmes, scott, newport).. Good thing Walton won this Friday, might take a little sting away from that B.O.E guy who lied through his teeth... Anybody notice that McMillen is the middle school coach now?!? Interesting...... "Congrats to Walton on a huge win, I have always been kind of a fan of Walton since they started because of Coach McMillen. I think he did a great job getting the program going, and the guy now is doing a great job keeping it going in the right direction."--futurecoach....
