Wayne QB will miss major Northmont matchup
HUBER HEIGHTS — Braxton Miller, Wayne’s star junior quarterback, will not be available for the Warriors’ major conference game against Northmont on Friday, Oct. 2, Wayne coach Jay Minton said Thursday afternoon.
Miller suffered a thigh bruise during a Sept. 18 game against Trotwood-Madison that caused him to miss Wayne’s 14-12 upset loss to Troy last Friday. Minton said the coaches were hopeful Miller could play against Northmont but learned after Miller met with a doctor Thursday morning that he would be unavailable.
“He doesn’t have a full range of motion,” Minton said. “He needs to be relatively pain free (before he can play).”
In Miller’s place, Wayne is expected to start freshman Javon Harrison, who Minton said is himself a skilled player. Against Troy in his first high school action, Harrison completed 7-of-14 passes for 88 yards and rushed 14 times for 29 yards.
Also, Minton said running back Seth Stuart suffered a sprained ankle in practice Wednesday, so coaches would evaluate him in practice Thursday to determine if he would be available for the Northmont game. Stuart has gained 178 yards on 43 carries this season.

Could this be a smokescreen by Minton? I think Northmont will be ready for Braxton anyway, just incase he is suddenly cured.
