She is back, but senior Sean Keck will be in the mix, especially on long field goal attempts. However, Cash will be the main extra- point kicker. “Her timing is so quick,” Black said. “It’s tough to displace her. We have sopho- more boys who can’t kick the football like she can. She’s a very consistent kicker.” OUTLOOK: Black likes to break the season into three parts: non-conference, conference crossover games and divisional games. The benchmark is going 2-1 in non-con- ference and crossover games, and going at least 2-2 in division games. That bottom standard amounts to a 6-4 record and anything more than that begins to put Beavercreek in the playoff picture. But Black said with the playoff system, the right six wins could put a team in the playoffs. In region 4, which includes part of Dayton and all of Cincinnati, Mason, Cincinnati Elder and Cincinnati Sycamore qualified with six wins while Cincinnati St. Xavier made it with a 5-5 record. In region 3 which is Columbus and part of Dayton, one team qualified with six wins. Black isn’t getting too far ahead of things, though. “We’re just taking it a game at a time,” Beavercreek’s Rodney Alston takes a handoff. he said.
