Reid Wheeler, Jr, WR/LB – Like teammate Batson, Wheeler was a Second Team All-MVC Gray selection a year ago. Batson will be an even bigger factor in all phases of the game this fall. Matt Batson, Jr, RB/LB – Had a solid sophomore showing and was named Second Team All-MVC Gray. The best football is still ahead for Moyer a Second Team All-MVC Gray selection in ’17. Josh Moyer, Sr, OL/DL – Has the physical tools at 6-foot-2 and 268 pounds to play at the next level. His work earned him Second Team All-MVC Gray acclaim. Seth Griswold, Jr, QB/LB – Moves to quarterback after running for 404 yards and seven touchdowns as a sophomore. The gritty Warren is coming off a First Team All-MVC Gray campaign. Trevor Warren, Sr, OL/DL – Gets the most out of his frame for a lineman.

Noah Luiken, Jr, OL/DL – An immovable force up front, the 5-foot-11, 366-pound Luiken was named First Team All-MVC Gray as a sophomore. Advancing will be the goal at that point.ĬOACH: Ken Moyer (24-17 at Dayton Christian, four years 24-17 overall) Dayton Christian should have plenty of confidence in themselves to get to November. Look for Moyer and Warriors to focus on that. The Warriors realized, it was one thing to get there, a playoff victory takes an even higher level of play. That was all good but a 45-7 loss to Lima Central Catholic was a reality check. That unselfishness could very easily become this teams identity.ĭayton Christian took a large step making the postseason in ’18. There will be enough opportunities to share the wealth. The 2018 Warriors are going to have to do it by committee. It isn’t easy to replace that kind of talent. “We lost some great seniors,” Moyer states. This is a youthful but proven Dayton Christian squad that must find out where the leadership is going to come from. Six of those players are only going to be juniors. The Warriors return two First Team and six Second Team All-Miami Valley Conference – Gray Division performers. “We are well balanced at the skill positions and on the line,” Moyer says. The cupboard is far from bare at Dayton Christian. The momentum doesn’t seem to be slowing down anytime soon. Since then it has been three consecutive winning campaigns for Dayton Christian including the schools second trip to the playoffs last fall. They finished 2-8 in Moyer’s first season. Four years ago when Ken Moyer was named head coach at Dayton Christian, the Warriors were coming off a 1-9 season.
