WGH tops East 43-6

WARREN — Demond Hymes had 94 yards on the ground and scored twice as Warren Harding (5-3-1) defeated East, 43-6, at Mollenkopf Stadium on Friday night.

Harding attacked both on the ground and through the air as the wet weather did not change their gameplan.

Jordan Miller went 6-for-15 for 85 yards and a touchdown to Andrew Zitnik, and Chris Zadroski went 2-for-4 for 45 yards and threw a touchdown to Deen Franklin.

Terrence Meyers was East’s (2-7) lone scorer on the night, as he ran in on a 2-yard run.

Northwest 55, West Branch 6

CANAL FULTON — The wet weather didn’t scare Northwest (6-3, 4-2 Northeastern Buckeye Conference) as the Indians threw for 515 yards and seven touchdowns.

Bryan Jones went 17-for-19 for 290 yards and five touchdowns, and Nick Riley had 10 completions on 15 attempts for 225 yards and two touchdowns.

Ben Beadle caught two passes for 139 yards and two touchdowns, and Tim May had five catches for 107 yards and two touchdowns as well.

West Branch (3-6, 2-4) was led offensively by Mark Smith who rushed for 100 yards on 19 carries, and their only score of the game came with 12 seconds left on a 2-yard run by Troy James.

Norton 17, Southeast 8

NORTON — Norton scored the only points in the first half on a Tim Scott field goal, but Southeast (1-8, 1-5 Portage Trail Conference) was unable to get anything going.

Southeast’s score came with 3:09 left in the game on a Noah Kainrad 15-yard pass to Damian Pennington. The two also hooked up for the conversion, but Norton (4-5, 3-3 PTC) was already up too many.

Kainrad went 7-for-19 for 154 yards and one touchdown. Pennington had four catches for 68 yards.

Southington 20, Mathews 0

Southington improved to 4-4, while Mathews fell to 0-9. Other details of this game were not reported.
