LCC defends NWC title

Lima Central Catholic went to Lafayette and brought back the Northwest Conference football championship Friday. The T-Birds ran over Allen East 28-0.
The LCC offensive line was dominate, especially in the first half when LCC ran out to a 28-0 lead. Chris O'Brien went over 100 yards and Michael Corwin and Todd Ruggley also ran through big holes most of the night.
The T-Birds' defense, led by Scott Kayatin, smothered the Allen East running game and 1,300-yard rusher Blaine Schmitt.
LCC used two quarterbacks. Matt Huffman is the running quarterback, while Lance Helmig came in when the team wanted to throw. Helmig played the second half, with Huffman getting a rest with the team comfortably ahead.
I've never been a big fan of using a two quarterback system. So we'll see how it works out for the T-Birds come playoff time.
One thing is for sure: LCC has the offensive line and the running backs to run over the NWC.
It's done it all year. And it did it Friday night.
