Jeff Graham Providing Guidance and Leadership to Young Trotwood-Madison Team

Trotwood (Ohio) Madison head coach Jeff Graham played the game at the highest level during his playing career.  Over the past several years, Graham has stayed connected to the game, coaching many young and talented players over the years. In 2019, Graham led the Rams to the OHSAA Football Division III state championship. With success, Graham and the Rams saw their conference push them aside, forcing them to become independent and play one of the most demanding schedules in Ohio. Week One saw the Rams take on defending Division II state champion Winton Woods, then an always challenging and undefeated Kettering Fairmont team followed in Week Two, both losses for the Rams. If the sting of starting off 0-2 wasn't nasty enough, Graham and the Rams followed up in Week Three, playing up two levels and taking on Division One state runner-up Springfield.  While no head coach wants to see his team start 0-3, Graham refused to allow his players to hang their heads going into their Week Four match-up against Kettering Alter.  After some early game struggles, Graham and the Rams started to find their groove and used a solid second half to come back for a 26-24 win over the Knights. DBHuddle spoke with the Rams head coach about his young squad and why the future is bright for one of Ohio's top programs over the last decade.  This interview is presented by First Star Logistics.

Centerville (Ohio) head coach Brent Ullery knows all about the rich tradition of Elks football, having grown up in the program. Last season the Elks finished 8-4 with high expectations for 2022. They say defense wins championships, and Ullery is watching his defense play a significant role in the team's 3-0 start to the season, having only given up 20-points so far this season. The Elks pitched a shutout over a talented Gahanna Lincoln squad that entered the game undefeated Friday night. Coach Ullery spoke with DBHuddle about the win, top performers on his team, and the quality of football in Southwest Ohio, especially the Dayton area, which is often overlooked.
