BIG TIME RUSH: Canfield QB Kimu Kim rushed 52 times for 497 yards (fifth highest in the state according to OHSAA records) and a state-record nine TDs in a 70-62 double-OT win over Niles McKinley.

REVERSAL OF FORTUNE: Trotwood-Madison’s season-opening game has been ruled a forfeit win for Springfield because of an academically ineligible Trotwood player. Rams AD Guy Fogle said Trotwood self-reported a possible rules violation to the Ohio High School Athletic Association. The Rams, who have played in three straight D-II state title games, are 3-2 and will be hard-pressed to make the D-III postseason.
