One week until kickoff

Area high school football teams got their final tune-up before next Friday's 2025 season openers with final scrimmages. At Cavalier Stadium, Coldwater hosted Celina in a matchup of Mercer County schools - and former Western Buckeye League foes. Coldwater outscored Celina 35-14 over three quarters before the junior varsity players played the fourth quarter.

Both teams open the season next Friday on the road. Coldwater travels to Germantown to play Valley View and Celina takes on fellow Mercer County school St. Henry in the programs' first-ever meeting.
