Wauseon Indians Win In ConvincingFashion On A Special Night Over L.C.

By: Bill Bray

THE VILLAGE REPORTER

What a special night at the Wauseonversus Liberty Center football game Fri-day night. On a night that saw everyonein attendance seeing pink, all that theTigers could see was the back of AxelBueters red jersey as the senior run-ning back scooted up and down the eldfor a single game rushing record in theIndians 38-6 win.

The night, dedicated to the StefanieSpielman Fund for Breast Cancer,had many of the participants and fansdressed in pink in honor of the ghtagainst the disease. The boosters wereable to raise $2,600 for the importantcause.

They game started on a sour note

when a halfback pass by Zac Robinsonwas picked off by Anthony Righi as hereturned the ball to the Wauseon 27.

The Indians defense, having theirbest game of the season, forced LibertyCenter into a eld goal situation fromthere. Kaleb Pohlmans 30 yard attemptwas short and the defense had held.

Wauseons next possession endedwith a Ty Suntken punt. Suntken hadkept the drive alive earlier with a veyard run to the Tigers 42. But on a thirdand three Suntken was tackled for aseven yard loss and the Indians wereforced to punt.

A fumble on the next Tigers posses-sion, on a second and 10, was recoveredby Wauseons Zac Robinson and the In-dians set up shop on the Liberty 46.

After a two yard run by Suntken tomake it third and eight at the Liberty44, the handoff went to Bueter who gal-loped 44 yards for the Indians rst scoreof the game with :20 remaining in therst quarter. Josh Whitcombs kickmade it 7-0.

The Tigers were again forced to puntas the defense led by Anthony Werder,Cesar Juaraz, Aaron Schuette and NoahCastle held Liberty to just three netyards during the possession.

Bueter was on the loose again as theIndians took possession at their own31. Bueter for ve yards, Suntken forseven yards. These rushes were followedby two incomplete passes. With the ballresting on the Liberty 44. A 33 yard runby Bueter quickly moved the ball to the

11. After a 11 yard loss by Suntken,Whitcomb came in on a fourth and 18and split the uprights with a 36 yard

eld goal at the 6:49 mark of the rsthalf for a 10-0 Indians advantage.After a seven play, 45 yard drive that

brought the Tigers up empty again, theIndians had the ball on their own 20.As the offensive line of Anthony Werder,Alec Vonier, Josh Kauffman, CesarJuarez and Caleb Andrews completedtheir assignments on the next snap,Bueter found the parting of the sea andsprinted 80 yards for his second scoreof the game at the 2:49 mark. Whitcombagain was good with the extra point andthe Tribe was up 24-0 at the break.

On the Indians rst possession of thesecond half, Bueter found himself stillin the zone. The talented senior runningback scored on the Indians second snapof the drive as he rambled 36 yards

to paydirt with 10:38 remaining in thethird quarter. Whitcombs kick was goodand the Indians were embarrassing theTigers as they built the lead to 24-0.

Liberty had their most sustainedpossession on the next series of downs.The Tigers had the ball for 17 plays butcame up six yards short from the endzone when on a fourth and goal at thesix Pohlman, who was pursued by NoahCastle was forced to hurry his pass. Theaerial fell short of the receiver and theIndians were back on the offensive sideof the ball with 11:49 remaining in thegame.

The Indians drove the 94 yards injust seven plays as it was Bueter again.This time he sidestepped, followed hisline and scampered 62 yards for hisfourth touchdown of the game. Whit-combs kick was good and the lead grewto 31-0.

The next possession for Liberty wouldbe their best possession of the night asthey put together a nine play, 72 yarddrive to nally nd the end zone. Antho-ny Righi bulled over from ve yards outat the 8:48 mark to put the Tigers on thescoreboard.

The nal Wauseon score came fromthe tired legs of Bueter who put the icingon the cake with a 17 yard run aroundleft end for his fth score of the gameand the nal score of the game with 2:46left. Whitcomb again was good and theIndians had their suprising lopsided38-6 win.

For the game Bueter unofcially n-ished with 335 yards rushing on 19carries. The performance broke theWauseon single game rushing markpreviously held by Pat Milne in 1993. Itkind of shocked me, Bueter said afterthe game. I just wanted to come outand do my job and get the W. Theseguys really helped me with a lot of greatblocks. It wasnt just me, this recordbelongs to the whole offensive unit. Imecstatic about it. But, like I say, it isntabout me. I can not say enough aboutmy team mates.

The Indians now will take part in thegame of the year in the NWOAL as theytravel to Bryan Friday night to face the5-0 Golden Bears. Come support ourteam. Game time is set for 7 p.m.

Montpelier Locomotives Fall To The

Eighth Ranked Bryan Golden Bears

By: Mark Mercer

THE VILLAGE REPORTERMONTPELIER - On a crystal clear

warm evening at Hobe Krause Field inMontpelier, the Locomotives, 1 and 3 onthe season hosted the 8th ranked, unde-

feated (4-0) Bryan Golden Bears. TheLocomotives, following a 34-0 loss to theSwanton Bulldogs, came into the gamefired up and ready to take on theirWilliams County rival. In talking withHead Coach Steven Brancheau prior tothe start of action, the Locos have sufferedheavy injuries thus far on the season,with the key loss of starting fullbackDallas Royer, out with a shoulder injury.But it was a young, prepared, motivatedteam that took the field.

In the first quarter, the Locomotivesreceived the ball, and Logan Hutchinsonreturned the ball to the Loco 25 yard lineto begin the drive. On the initial drive, theLocos moved the ball to their own 33 yardline, but following a short one yard gain byAlex Zuver, Bryan intercepted KeeganHitzemans pass at the Locos 40 yard line,returning the ball into the end zone to putthe Golden Bears up 7- 0. On the nextpossession, the Locomotive offense beganto move the ball when quarterbackHitzeman made a powerful 8 yard run,but the Locos were unable to gain the firstdown when Cody Caudill was caughtbehind the line of scrimmage for a 8 yardloss and the Locos were forced to punt.

Following the punt, Bryan took posses-sion at the Montpelier 48 yard line. TheBryan ground game then took over, mov-ing the ball deep into Montpelier territorybefore tossing an 11 yard touchdown passto make the score 14-0. During the Bryandrive, Hitzeman and Logan Hutchinsonmade key stops, but the defense wasunable to keep the Golden Bears out ofthe end zone. On the next Montpelier pos-

session, Hitzeman began the drive with an8 yard quarterback keeper, but onceagain, a stout Golden Bear defense wouldnot allow Montpelier to move the yard-sticks, forcing Max Hulbert to punt for theLocos. The Golden Bears then returnedthe punt for a 57 yard touchdown, only tohave the points taken off the board by ablocking in the back penalty. From theMontpelier 48 yard line, Bryan began theseries by a tailback sweep, but NateBuehrer blasted into the backfield forcinga 2 yard loss. The Locomotive defensestiffened at their own 42 yard line, butBryan tossed a completion on fourth downto move to the Montpelier 38 yard line.On the ensuing play the Golden Bears ranthe ball in for a touchdown, but the runwas once again nullified by a Bryan hold-ing penalty. Bryan then went to the air,

and Hitzeman nearly intercepted the ball.On the ensuing play, Bryan connected fora 23 yard strike to move to the Loco 11

yard line. After back to back false startcalls on the Golden Bears, Bryan onceagain connected for a 23 yard strike forthe touchdown, and after the PAT, theGolden Bears went up by the score of 21-0to end the first quarter.

To start the 2nd quarter, theLocomotives began to show toughness inthe ground game, moving to their own 48

yard line before the Golden Bear defensestiffened, forcing a Hulbert punt. TheGolden Bears offense then began to movedownfield into Locomotive territory beforetheir drive stalled. Going for the first downat the Locomotive 17 yard line, the GoldenBears went to the air to pick up the firstdown, but Hitzeman made a big hit on theBryan receiver, jarring the ball loose andstopping the Golden Bear drive. Montpelierthen began to move the ball with back toback keepers by Hitzeman, followed by abig gainer by fullback Nate Buehrer, pick-ing up the first down. The Locos thenmoved the ball downfield before the drivewas stalled by a Bryan interception attheir own 40 yard line. Following an 8

yard gain by Bryan, the Golden Bearsonce again broke loose and ran into theend zone on a 52 yard score, making thescore 21-0. To close out the half, the pow-erful Golden Bear offensive line paved theway for 2 more scores to close out the half

at 35-0.The Golden Bears took the second half

kickoff, moving the ball steadily down thefield, capping their drive with a 24 yardstrike to bring the score to 41-0.Montpelier showed signs of life through-out the third quarter with Hitzeman andCaudill moving the ball effectively, but thedefensive unit of the Golden Bears rose tothe occasion on each Locomotive drive,forcing a turnover and shutting down anythreats to the Bryan end zone. Montpelierdefenders also showed determinationthroughout the third quarter, withHitzeman, Levi Croft, and Jared Sargentmaking tough stands and forcing theGolden Bear offense to earn every yardgained. The biggest defensive play turnedin by the Locomotives came at the 3:11mark when Jared Lyons made a spectacu-

lar interception in the end zone shuttingdown the Golden Bears drive.

As the game progressed into the fourthquarter, the Locos and the Golden Bearstraded possessions and the defensiveunits on both sides took over the game.

The key highlight of the quarter was akeeper by quarterback Hitzeman, wherehe broke through the Golden Bear defensefor a 69 yard burst, moving into the Bryanred zone at the 11 yard line. The Locoswere unable to punch the ball in for thescore though, and after a failed fourthdown attempt, the Bears took possessionof the ball. On the ensuing play, theGolden Bear offensive line opened a holein the Locomotive defense, and roundedout the scoring for the night by hitting ona 90 yard touchdown run, making the

final score 48-0. For the Locomotives, ZacMason entered the game in relief of abanged up Hitzeman, who showed tough-ness and determination throughout thegame. Also into the backfield in relief ofthe starters, freshman Bryce Cooleygained some carries and showed promiseby gaining some tough yards into theteeth of the Golden Bears defense.

Homecoming Happiness In Edon As The Blue Bombers Drown The Danbury Lakers

By: Kent HutchisonTHE VILLAGE REPORTER

EDON- The evening began with the Homecoming ceremony crowning Jordan

Matthews as Homecoming Queen. That was just the beginning of a night of cel-

ebration for the Edon faithful as once again the Bombers lightning strike offense

scored early and often en route to a 47-7 pasting of the Danbury Lakers.

The Bombers received the opening kickoff and began the night offensively at

their 32 yard line. The initial play from scrimmage was a screen left from Kaden

Sapp to his favorite target Connor Hug. The play appeared to be good for a 68

touchdown. However, a holding penalty on the play resulted in just a three yard

gain. Following an incompletion on second down, Sapp hit Mike Peeples for 27

yards, then Hug again for one yard. Trevor Green joined the party on the ground

by picking up 15 more yards. With the ball now resting on the Danbury 20, the

combo of Sapp to Hug resulted in a touchdown. The Edon offense required just

1:35 to go the 68 yards for the score. After Peeples kick was wide left, the

Bombers led 6-0 with 10:23 remaining in the first quarter.

The Edon defense was fired up as well holding the Lakers to a three and out.

After the Danbury punt came to rest on the Edon 21 yard line the offense sprint-

ed back on the field eager to attack again. Sapp used his legs to gain two yards,then hit Landon Bloir for 39 more. With first and ten at the Laker 38, Sapp

hurled a strike in the direction of Brock Thiel; however the pass was almost

intercepted. The junior quarterback went back to the ground gaining eight, then

22 yards. Once again the Bombers had wasted no time getting into the Red

Zone. All that was required to hit paydirt was an 8 yard completion from Sapp

to Green. The two combined for the two point conversion as well giving Edon a

14-0 advantage with 7:05 left in the initial stanza.

The kickoff gave the Lakers the ball on their 25 yard line. They were able to

pick up a first down and advance the ball to their 41 before a false start penalty

and Wyatt Zulchs sack, his first of a school record five he would accumulate on

the night, halted the threat.

The ensuing Edon possession required less time than the first two for the

Bombers to score. First Sapp found Hug for a 30 yard gain. The ground game

was good to Sapp again as he picked up seven, then four yards. The drive cul-

minated when Sapp hit Green with a screen in the right flat and the senior run-

ning back followed his wall of blockers for his second touchdown reception of the

night. The Bombers needed just 1:03 to score. Peeples kick missed the mark

leaving the Lakers wondering what was going on and the Bombers with a 20-0lead.

Danbury continued to be in a state of shock as the Bombers forced another

three and out. Edon took the ball back over at their 26 yard line after the punt.

Sapp had a pass batted at the line before he ripped off a 42 yard gain to end the

first quarter.

With the ball now at the Laker 32 yard line, the Danbury defense must have

woke up at the quarter break. Sapp completed another pass to Green; however

the ball was fumbled after the catch resulting in a five yard loss. Sapp went to

the air on three successive plays. Unfortunately each pass was incomplete and

the Bombers turned the ball over on downs.

The trend of three snaps and a punt continued for Danbury as they kicked

the ball back to Edon at the Bomber 33 yard line with 9:08 left in the second

stanza. The Blue and Silver needed just 1:38 to add to the point total. Green

churned out six more on the ground, but Sapp was sacked for a five yard loss.

Facing third and nine, Sapp connected with Thiel for a 28 yard gain. Hug

recorded his second TD of the night on the next play when Sapp hit him for a 38

yard score. Peeples split the uprights this time putting the Bombers well in com-

mand with a 27-0 lead.

The fireworks ceased for a period of time as Danbury punted twice and Edon

once. However, the Bombers ended the quarter with a flurry. Appearing to be

short on time and long on grass in front of them Edon started at their six yard

line with only 1:15 left in the half. Sapp found Hug once again for a 25 yard gain,

and then ran for five additional yards. After a Bomber time out, a pass to Green

missed the mark short in the left flat. Sapp used his legs once again to pick up

16 more yards. With a mere 22 seconds left and the ball at the Danbury 48 it

appeared the clock was their nemesis. That however was an aberration. Green

hauled in a screen from Sapp right in front of the Danbury bench. It appeared

he was going to step out of bounds to kill the clock. However, instead he cut

back all the way across the field through what seemed to be all 11 Danbury

defenders into the end zone sending the Homecoming court and crowd into a

frenzy. Peeples kick was true once again giving Edon a commanding 34-0 lead

heading into the locker room.

Danburys second half began much like the first one ended. Starting on their31 yard line, Zulch recorded his fourth sack of the night pushing the Lakers back

to the 22. One play later Danbury put the ball on the turf and Sapp recovered

giving the Bombers great field position at Danbury 21. Green toted the pigskin

on three successive plays with the third resulting in another score for Edon. The

Bombers two point conversion attempt fell short leaving Edon well in command

of the game up 40-0.

Danbury was finally able to put some points on the board when a long pass

resulted in a score for the visitors. After the score both teams defenses settled

in allowing very little until 3:55 remained in the quarter. At that point Green

took over once again on the ground. Starting at their 43 yard line, Green got the

call on five of the next six plays. In the drive the senior carried five of the next

six plays gaining 36 yards. The final carry was a 14 yard touchdown run,

Greens fifth score of the night which gave the Bombers a commanding 47-7 lead

with just 23 seconds remaining in the third quarter.

The Lakers had one last sign of life left. Starting at their 37 yard line,

Danbury advanced the ball all the way to the Edon 26. It was at that point how-

ever that any hopes left for the Lakers were quickly dashed when Colt Lyman

stepped in front of a pass attempt at the Edon five yard line.With 8:12 left in the contest Edons second team offense took over. A combi-

nation of carries by Bloir, Jordan Julian, and Cameron Winners Castillo chewed

up over seven minutes off of the game clock and moved the ball to the Edon 46

yard line. A fourth down punt by Peeples pinned the Lakers back to their four

yard line with only 1:05 left in the contest.

The misfortune of Danbury continued. On the first play of the drive the ball

was fumbled and recovered by the Bombers Jared Best. Edon employed the

Victory Formation three times to run out the clock and secure the 47-7 victory.

Green will have several fond memories of the Homecoming game. The senior

running back scored 5 touchdowns on the night. He gained 82 yards on 12 car-

ries and two scores, and caught 5 passes for 92 yards and three TDs.

Sapp had another solid night completing 14 of 24 passes for 302 yards and

five touchdowns. He also toted the pigskin 16 times for 111 yards.

Overall the Bombers gained 216 yards. Bloir picked up 7 yards on 6 carries,

Winners Castillo added 13 yards on 3 carries, and Julian picked up 3 yards in 2

attempts.

Hug enjoyed another fine night receiving hauling in 6 catches for 116 yards

and two touchdowns. Bloir had one reception for 39 yards, Thiel one catch for28 yards, and Peeples snagged one aerial for 27 yards.

With the victory Edon improves to 3-2 overall and 1-1 in the TAAC. Up next

for the Bombers will be a home game with the Ottawa Hills Green Bears.

Ottawa Hills Defense Too StrongFor The Visiting Hilltop CadetsOTTAWA HILLS - The Hilltop Cadets

brought their 1-3 record to the Toledo

suburbs for a TAAC showdown with the

winless Ottawa Hills Bears on September

27. The Cadets, still searching for con-

sistency in all aspects of their game,

had high hopes for putting it togetheragainst a team that had been outscored

by a total of 211-13 over the first four

games of the season. Unfortunately for

Hilltop, it was the Bears that discovered

how to put it all together on this night

as they dispatched their visitors from

Williams County by a score of 35-14.

Neither team scored during the first

period, but the Bears, who were able to

run the ball with relative ease against

the Cadet defense, put the first touch-

down of the night on the board with an

11-yard pass just before the end of the

half.

With 7:10 remaining in the third

period, the Bears made it 14-0 after a

two yard run. Less than two minutes

later, Hilltop used the big play to get onthe board as Quinn Smith connected

with Chad Champion for a 79 yard

catch and run for a score. The Austin

Ashenfelter boot made it 14-7.

The Bears replied at the 1:42 mark

in the third on a 16-yard pass play to

up the score to 21-7, but the dagger

came 55 seconds later. Forced to go to

the air by the deepening disadvantage

on the scoreboard and the non-exis-

tence of a ground attack, Smith was

picked off at his own 42. The Ottawa

Hills defender-turned-ball carrier

returned the ball for a pick-six with 47

seconds left in the third to make it a

28-7 game.

The Green Bears added extra icing to

their celebratory cake with 3:11 left inthe game as they put up their final

score of the night, an 11-yard touch-

down run. The Cadets were able to get

the ball across one last time on a one-

yard plunge by Smith with 1:19 left in

the contest. The Ashenfelter boot ended

the scoring for the 35-14 final.

The Bears front seven made life mis-

erable for the Hilltop offense, sacking

Smith six times, getting 11 tackles for

loss, and obliterating the Cadet running

game. The Cadets ran the ball a total of

19 times for minus-12 yards.

When he had the time to throw the

ball, Smith showed continued improve-

ment in his aerial skills by going 17 of

30 for 210 yards, a touchdown and a

pick through the air. Champion hauledin 4 passes for 101 yards and a score,

Mikel Burlew hauled in two passes for

43 yards, and Logan Brooker caught 3

passes for 27 yards. Justin Grapengeter

reeled in 4 passes for 24 yards, Miklo

Abner grabbed 2 for 8 yards, and Austin

Batt caught 2 for 7.

It will not get any easier for the

Cadet Cadre on October 4 as they con-

tinue their TAAC tour with a stop at

Northwood to take on the Rangers.

On the game for Montpelier, Hitzemanled the Locomotives in rushing yards, run-

ning 14 times for 92 yards. Buehrer con-

tributed 34 tough yards on 11 rushingattempts, Keaton Byers picked up 6 yards

on 3 attempts, Croft had 3 yards on 3attempts, Mason contributed 2 yards on 3

attempts and Cooley ground out 10 yards

on 2 attempts.On the defensive side of the ball, Nate

McCord led the way with 5 .5 tackles, fol-lowed by Hulbert, Hitzeman, Buehrer with

3.5 stops on the night, Logan Hutchinsonand Sargent had 3 stops, Jake Dewire had

2.5 stops, Caudill had 2 stops, Zech

Thompson had 1.5 stops, and Alex Zuver,Gunnar Matson and Cooley each put in a

tackle for the Locomotive defense.

On special teams, punter Hulbert had4 punts for 103 yards, averaging 25.8

yards on the night.As a team, Montpelier gained 147

yards on the night and held the ball for

29:38 on the game. The loss drops theLocomotives to 0-4 in the NWOAL and 1-4

on the season. The Locomotives hostArchbold next week for the homecoming

game.
