Football: Week 1 Opponent Set?

The 2010 football season is still a long ways off but there is always consternation regarding Colerain's schedule at this time of year. Usually, the Cardinals struggle to find opponents to play the first three weeks of the year during their "non-league" schedule. With seven GMC league games pre-determined, one would think it's not that hard to find three teams to play. Unfortunately, very much like the GCL teams, Colerain is more often than not, struggling to find takers.

2010 looks to not be as bad as both Elder in week 2 and Dupont Manual in Week 3 are already wrapped up. However, what about week 1 in the Skyline Chili Crosstown Showdown? Last year's game vs. St. Xavier came together so late that the Cards seemed to be on the verge of 2-a-days before it was announced.

Sources have told WeAreColerain.com that we won't have to wait nearly as long this year. Indications are that Colerain is very close to signing a contract to play a major Division I opponent in week 1 at the Skyline Chili Crosstown showdown. Further details were sketchy but we do believe it is a perennial Southwest Ohio playoff contender. Gametime is scheduled for Saturday night at Nippert Stadium.

When we find out...you will find out. Until then, keep checking WeAreColerain.com for news, scores and updates as we head in to the spring season. Baseball, Softball and track are upon us!
