Not one of the Clermont County high school varsity football teams qualified for the state playoffs. In Week 10, the final week of the regular season, just two of the county’s grid squads emerged victorious – Bethel-Tate and Clermont Northeastern.

Thank goodness the gasoline prices have become a little cheaper, Bethel-Tate and Goshen did a lot of traveling and one, New Richmond, hosted a team that came a long way.

Bethel-Tate 68 Manchester 0

The Fighting Tigers (5-5 overall) manhandled Manchester on the soil of Adams County, 68-0.
