BHS’s Neer and Ohio Bobcats on ESPNU at 7:00 PM
2024 Bellefontaine High School graduate Riley Neer is a member of the Ohio University Football Team. The Freshman wide receiver has quickly impressed coaches with his work ethic and talent.
Neer has worked his way up the depth chart and now travels and dresses for all Bobcat games.
The 5-3 Bobcats travel to winless Kent St tonight in Wednesday night “MACtion”. The game is being televised by ESPNU at 7:00 PM.
Neer rewrote the BHS receiving record books with 1,873 yards a season ago. His connection with star quarterback Tavien St. Clair helped propel the Chiefs to a Division 3 regional runner up in 2023.
Horvath Productions recently sat down with Bellefontaine head football coach Jason Brown to discuss the 2024 season. The Chieftains are coming off a historic season in 2023. The Chiefs won three playoff games for the first time in school history, advancing to the Division III Region 11 Final vs. Bishop Watterson. The Eagles scored a late TD to defeat the Chiefs and would eventually finish Ohio state runner up two weeks later.
Brown and the Chiefs are looking for an encore of sorts, as Tavien St. Clair (Rivals #1 Player in America) returns at Quarterback with a mostly fresh cast of characters. The Chieftain defense returns CBC leading tacklers Jayden Temple and Carter Caudill and looks to be a team strength.
The Chiefs open the 2024 campaign as they travel to Sidney to face the Yellowjackets. The meeting between the Chiefs and Yellowjackets marks the 125th anniversary of the squads first match-up in 1899.
Horvath Productions recently sat down with West Liberty - Salem assistant football coach Andy McGill. McGill is the brother of Head Coach Dan McGill and has been with this version of the WLS staff since 2013.

The Tigers open the season tomorrow night as they travel to St. Paris to take on the Graham Falcons.
Horvath Productions recently sat down with Benjamin Logan head football coach Paul Jenne. Coach Jenne is entering his second season with the Raiders. He comes to Logan County with a wealth of experience, having been the head coach at five different schools with almost 150 career victories. Jenne feels the Raiders are heading in the right direction in 2024. The 2023 Raiders (1-9) played almost entirely underclassmen, giving the veteran head coach returning players at nearly every position. The Raiders open at home vs Bluffton.
