But the surprising 3-0 teams are Cedarville and Greeneview. Cedarville is off to its first 3-0 start since 2001. Greeneview has won three games in a whole season only twice (2001 and 2012) since the birth of the OHC in 2001.
That’s what makes tonight’s game so special. Greeneview plays at Cedarville in a matchup of 3-0 teams. When was the last time that game could be considered one of the top games of the week?
The picks
Greeneview at Cedarville: The Rams won 23-8 last season and 14-0 two years ago. Cedarville's last win in the series came in 2010, 45-24 in Jamestown.
Quarterback Chance Frye leads Greeneview with six touchdown passes and five touchdown runs. He’s completing 68 percent of his passes (27-of-4o). The Rams are ranked fifth in Division V, Region 18, according to JoeEitel.com.
Cedarville, ranked third in Division VII, Region 26, has outscored its three opponents 98-38. Pick: Cedarville 35, Greeneview 34.
Shawnee at Northwestern: This is another game you wouldn't expect to be considered one of the top games in the first half of the season because the Braves have won the last three games in the series by a 154-0 margin. But both teams are 3-0.
“I feel our kids have earned the right to play in a big game against an opponent like Shawnee,” Northwestern coach Seth Whiting said. “Obviously, we’re going to be looked at as an underdog, which is fine. Coach (Rick) Meeks has done an awesome job (at Shawnee). I’m excited to get a chance to play against them.”
Pick: Shawnee 35, Northwestern 21.
Tecumseh at Urbana: The Hillclimbers won 42-21 last season to end a four-game losing streak in the series. This is the Arrows' worst start to a season since they began 0-4 in 2004. Pick: Urbana 40, Tecumseh 15.
