Clermont County’s entrant in the United States Football Alliance is on fire.

The Mount Carmel Fire amateur men’s football team, usually referred to as a semi-professional team, is 6-1 after finishing the 2008 season with a record of 1-9.

Kyle Dincler, owner and team member, points to several reasons for the incredible turnaround for the program that is in just its third season of competition.

“Everyone has worked so hard over the past two years, but this year we have professional experience for the coaching staff,” said Dincler.
