TweetWayne-Centerville girls soccer regional final moved to Bellbrook
The Division I girls soccer regional final between Centerville and Wayne will be played at Bellbrook High School at noon on Saturday, Nov. 7, the Ohio High School Athletic Association announced today.
The game was originally scheduled to be played at Princeton High School, but because two Miami Valley teams advanced, the game was moved.
Centerville (19-1-1) defeated Cincinnati St. Ursula Academy 1-0 on Wednesday to advance to the regional final, and Wayne (20-1-0) topped Cincinnati Turpin 3-0 to advance.
Wayne was the only team to beat Centerville this season when the Warriors topped the Elks 3-1 on Oct. 14. Wayne’s single loss came against Beavercreek, 2-0 on Sept. 16.
The game’s winner will advance to the state semifinals and play the winner of Dublin Coffman (12-5-3) and Upper Arlington (17-1-2), which will play at Dublin Scioto High School on Saturday.
The state semifinal will be played at Hilliard Darby High School at 7 p.m. Wednesday, and the state final will be played Saturday, Nov. 14, at 1:30 p.m. at Columbus Crew Stadium.

TweetWilmington took its revenge, heads to playoffs
What’s one way to set yourself on a playoff path?
Beat the teams that clobbered you the year before.
That was part of the plan for Wilmington High School, which finished 7-3 and will face top seed Turpin on Friday in a Division II, Region 8 quarterfinal that will also be a rematch of the teams’ Week 10 game, a Turpin win.
Part of the Hurricane’s path included games against Edgewood, Little Miami and Kings. For a glimpse into last season, when the Hurricane finished 4-6, check out the scores in losses against Edgewood (65-17), Little Miami (64-27) and Kings (38-14).
“All three whooped up on us badly,” said Wilmington coach Rob Vida. “They’re good programs, and they just embarrassed us.”
This year was different. In those same three games, Wilmington beat Edgewood (19-14), Little Miami (51-48) and Kings (35-14).
Beating the teams that embarrassed you last season is a big boost for any team. For the Hurricane, it felt a little better, as they made the playoffs for just the third time in school history and the first time since 2005. Two seasons ago, Wilmington was 2-8.
“We used those games to drive us through the season a little bit,” Vida said. “We gained some confidence, and we believed we could win.”
Now, Wilmington needs another payback game. Turpin, the first-round opponent, beat Wilmington just last week 26-14.
The Hurricane are sure to get help from running back Quinten Rollins, the Miami University basketball point guard recruit who has seen some better line play improve his numbers.
