BEDFORD

Cleveland Glenville proved to have too many weapons for Warren Harding High, rolling past the Raiders, 41-6, Saturday night in a Division I, Region 1 quarterfinal football playoff game at Bedford High.

The undefeated Tarblooders were voted No. 1 in the state in Division I by the Associated Press and came into the game ranked 11th in the nation by USA Today.

Shane Wynn was one of the Glenville weapons, returning a punt 69 yards for a touchdown in the first quarter and racing 32 yards from scrimmage for a touchdown in the final quarter.

The scoring plays by Wynn were similar in that he started in one direction, reversed his field, and used his superior speed and moves to make it into the end zone.

Another weapon was quarterback Cardale Jones who passed for one touchdown and ran for another. He finished with 140 yards passing and 42 yards rushing.

A third weapon was running back Robert Walton Jr. who did most of the tough inside running for the Tarblooders. Walton netted 77 yards rushing in the game including two short scoring runs.

It’s not as if the Raiders did not move the ball. Harding advanced to at least the Glenville 35-yard-line on four different occasions without coming away with points. The lone Raider touchdown came after the Tarblooders turned the ball over on downs at the 2-yard-line following a bad snap on a punt attempt.

Playing without injured running back Demond Hymes, the Raiders were led by quarterback Mikhail Seawood who passed for 121 yards and rushed for 41, including Harding’s touchdown.

Edward Killingworth caught five passes for 97 yards for the Raiders.

Wynn’s punt return for a touchdown came following the first possession of the game. The Raiders then responded with an 18-play drive that took the ball from the 20 to the Glenville 15. There the Raiders gave up the ball on downs after an incomplete pass off a fake field goal.

On the ensuing possession, the Tarblooders had three plays of 18 yards and a 39-yard pass play from Jones to Nicholas Davis down to the 2. Walton scored his first touchdown on the next play.

A short Harding punt set up the Tarblooders on the Raider 35 and Jones hit Davis on a 15-yard scoring pass to make the score 21-0.

An interception on a screen pass put Glenville on the Harding 33 and Jones tacked on his 20-yard scoring run on a quarterback draw. A missed extra point left the score at 27-0 with 5:52 left in the half.

After the Harding defense forced a punt from the Glenville 24, the aforementioned high snap set up the Raiders at the Glenville 2. Seawood scored the touchdown but Justin Magazine was stopped on a try for a two-point conversion.
