The Chieftains won with a new quarterback with a familiar last name, a familiar running back named Carter Caudill and a strong defensive effort, while Sidney took the field with a new coach and is learning what it means to play hard for four quarters.

Zach Gueth's first two teams in Vandalia each won nine games.
