Xenia coach: Northmont front four is one of best around
I mentioned during a conversation with Xenia football coach Bob DeLong this week that I had covered Northmont’s past two games, wins against Fairborn and Wayne.
I said I liked the look of the Northmont defense, and DeLong went a step further.
“Their front four and (middle) linebacker are the best I’ve seen, and that includes the teams they’ve played,” DeLong said.
DeLong’s Buccaneers lost to Northmont 30-0 in Week 3, which started the Thunderbolts’ rally from a 1-2 start to their 4-2 record heading into Friday’s game against Springfield, also 4-2.
One of Northmont’s key strengths has been its rush defense, which ranks second in the Greater Western Ohio Conference in allowing 108.8 rushing yards per game.
The past three games have been better, as opponents have gained just 203 total yards rushing, an average of 67.7 per game.
