After five weeks of play, we’ve learned a lot about the football teams in Z-Land. Adams Central appears primed for another trip to state. The Starfires and Patriots are both going to be tough outs in their sectionals and the Bellmont Braves showed major improvement in their close loss to Huntington North.
Take a look at the stat leaders after five games from around the area and you’ll begin to notice who the frontrunners are to be named to the prestigious “Z-Team” at the end of the season.
