Anderson has had a storied past, but I did not think they were a solid program for quite a few years. Interesting game

Anderson head coach Jeff Giesting reached into his team’s bag of offensive tricks for a touchdown in the waning seconds of the first half of Friday’s game against Boone County, but there was nothing tricky about his team’s rock-solid defense
he Redskins limited Boone County to just 185 yards and rolled to their third straight win to start the season, 33-8, at Boone County. It was also Anderson’s 17th straight regular-season wins dating back to Sept. 26, 2008. Included in the streak was a 63-14 win over Boone County last season.
Boone County, which started the season with wins over Lexington Henry Clay (28-19) and Scott County (17-6), crossed the 50-yard line just three times in the game, only once in the first three quarters as Anderson’s first-team defense dominated before being pulled in the fourth quarter, which helped Boone County avert the shutout.
Anderson entered the game allowing just 211 yards and 14.5 points per game, but its first-team defense has allowed just 14 points total now all season.
“They just play really hard, they really care about each other and we’ve got a little speed,” said Giesting. “We’re undersized, but we’ve got a little quickness. We have an experienced linebacker in Tonty Martini and our back five can really run pretty well.”
Anderson also moved the ball at will, racking up 384 yards, 292 in the first half alone.
Despite that the Redskins led just 7-0 midway through the second quarter before scoring 20 points in the final 6:15 of the half to build a 27-0 halftime lead.
The final touchdown of the half came with just 16.1 seconds left and only three plays after Anderson senior defensive back Chris Shingleton intercepted a pass from Boone County quarterback Bryson Thompson at the Boone County 9 and returned it 40 yards.
With Anderson having the ball at the Boone 41 Giesting called for, “Bronco Right,” a hook and lateral play named in honor of Boise State, which used a similar play to defeat Oklahoma in the Fiesta Bowl a few years ago.
It worked to perfection as junior quarterback Nick Mason drilled a pass to senior Blake Shelton at the Boone County 20 and Shelton lateraled to junior Ethan Stone, who raced into the end zone.
“I told our running back coach, ‘it’s a good time to run Bronco, because the last play they’re really going to be looking for something,” said Giesting. “We always have a few little tricks.”Mason said the play has never worked quite that well.
“We usually get 20 yards off it, but we got lucky this time,” said Mason.”We run it once, maybe twice a week in practice just to make sure we got it down in case we have to use it.”
Mason finished the game completing 10 of 16 passes for 151 yards, including going 10 of 14 for all 151 yards in the first half. Senior running back Jake Nelson carried the ball 18 times for 96 yards, 74 of which came in the first half. Nelson also scored Anderson’s first two touchdowns on a 1-yard plunge and 11-yard burst.
Anderson showed its offensive balance in the first half. The Redskins entered the game averaging 161 yards rushing and 164 passing per game and finished the first half with 141 yards rushing and 151 passing.
“We have to be balanced,” said Geisting. “We’re not as physical up front as we usually and we’re not as spectacular as we’ve been in the past, but we’re more balanced which helps us and sometimes makes us that much harder to defend.”
Anderson next hosts Cleveland Glenville, the No. 4-ranked team in the nation by several outlets, on Saturday and while that will be a tough test, Geisting said it will be a good one for his team.
“We can make one mistake and they can take it on us and physically it’s a mismatch up front, " Geisting said. "It’s a real challenge, but we’re going to step up and see what we do. For this team to be this young and be 3-0, I’m just really happy with them.”

A surprising 2-0 start has a chance to quickly be 2-2 after next week for the Boone County football team, but all the signs head coach Rick Thompson has seen from his team since practice started have him believing it will be ready once district play rolls around in two weeks.
The Rebels, who beat Lexington Henry Clay 28-19 and then Scott County, 17-6, ran into a dominating performance from Cincinnati Anderson on Friday and fell, 33-8, at Irv Goode Field/Owen Hauck Stadium at Boone County
It was the 17th straight regular-season win for Anderson, which plays in Division I in Ohio – the largest schools based on enrollment. The Redskins (3-0) whipped Boone County 63-14 last season on the way to advancing to the state quarterfinals.
Boone County, which went 4-7 last season and suffered its first losing season since 1999, faces Highlands next Friday night at home.
“We’ll get better from it,” said Thompson. “I think our kids from, where they were last year and to the way they’ve responded to everything this year, I think we’ll respond in a positive manner and move forward.
“These games are kind of measurers of where you’re at. I think we’re light years ahead of where we were last year at this time. The kids all knew in advance that we had four difficult games. They had a lot of people telling them they would be 0-4 and they’re not 0-4. I think they’ve maintained that positive mental outlook and that positive mental energy and I think that’s what we have to take into next week and beyond.”
Boone County crossed the 50-yard line just once in the first three quarters and was held to just 106 yards in that span. The Rebels, who finished with 185 yards in the game, were outgained in the first half 292-87and trailed 27-0 at halftime.
Despite that domination in the opening half, Anderson led just 7-0 midway through the second quarter before scoring 20 points in the final 6:15 of the first half.
Anderson scored its final touchdown of the first half just three plays after Redskins senior safety Chris Shingleton intercepted Boone County quarterback Bryson Thompson at the Anderson 9 and returned it 40 yards with 37.7 seconds left in the half.
After gaining a first down at the Boone County 41 with 25.2 seconds left, Anderson head coach Jeff Giesting called for, “Bronco Right,” a hook and lateral play named in honor of Boise State, which used a similar play to defeat Oklahoma in the Fiesta Bowl a few years ago. It worked to perfection as junior quarterback Nick Mason drilled a pass to senior Blake Shelton at the Boone County 20 and Shelton lateraled to junior Ethan Stone, who raced into the end zone.
“At halftime after the way they scored the kids could have given up and packed it in and didn’t and that’s a positive,” said Thompson. “Your district games are the most important you’ll play all year. The kids wanted to win this football game and in that regard that hurts, but at the same token in the second half we kept fighting and made some progress. That’s one of the best teams and programs in Cincinnati and they deserve credit, especially that second quarter.”
Boone County senior tailback Jordan Oppenheimer, who had rushed for 227 yards in the first two games, was limited to 62 yards on 14 carries, with 37 of the yards coming on the Rebels’ lone scoring drive in the fourth quarter against Anderson’s reserves. Oppenheimer said he believes his team will keep a positive outlook on the season.
“Last year we started losing and started bickering, but tonight at halftime we didn’t point fingers we came together as a team,” said Oppenheimer, who scored Boone County’s lone touchdown with 4:33 left to play. “Our offense came out and couldn’t get it rolling and out defense kept us in the game for awhile. These games are going to ready us for 6A, especially Anderson and Highlands. That’s how we have to look at it.”

Anderson has always been one of the stronger Cincy area schools(especially the last 20 years). They just play in a conference that doesnt get the respect of the GCL and GMC. They were D2 for a few seasons. Winning a ring and being runner-ups in back to back seasons I believe. Last year they won a couple D1 playoff games I think. They are a very strong program that would compete for 6A titles over here almost every year....
