Warren Harding gets win, misses playoffs

WARREN — Mike Dorsey scored two quick TDs and the the Warren Harding High football team rolled past Akron North 63-24 on Friday at Mollenkopf Stadium.

Demond Hymes had 13 carries for 173 yards and a TD for Harding (6-3-1), which was bounced from the playoffs due to wins by Boardman and Euclid. Miller threw for 133 yards and two TDs.

Marlington 35, West Branch 24

BELOIT — Alden Hill ran for 247 yards and four touchdowns to lead Marlington (8-2, 5-2 Northeastern Buckeye Conference) past the Warriors. This marks the first time in Clinton Heacock Stadium history that the Dukes were able to come out of Beloit with victory.

Hill and West Branch’s Mark Smith would battle back and forth in the first half scoring after one another, but Bo Beegle hit a 45-yard field goal to give the West Branch the lead at half.

Hill would start the second half much like the first, with a 76-yard run into the end zone. Mike Smith completed a 23-yard pass to put the Warriors back on top, but the Dukes’ running game was too much for West Branch (3-7, 2-5).

Dymonte Thomas would run in from 34 yards out, and Hill would finish what he started with a 1 yard run to put it away for the Dukes.
