The Bobcats played Whitehall tough but still came up short 22-14 the second game of the year. This team is relatively young as they only have six seniors posted on the roster. Heights graduated a large class from a season ago when they went to the second round of the playoffs.
The Bobcats were defeated in the second round by Mechanicsburg at Hilliard Darby High School, 48-7. They finished the 2019 season 7-5.
The Heights record can be deceiving, however, as they have faced some of the top football programs in the state including Columbus Academy (5-1), Harvest Prep (5-1), and Liberty Union (5-1).
Grandview Heights averages 7 points per game, while Coal Grove averages 30. Coal Grove is 3-2 on the season and 1-1 at home.
