RD 2: Valley (3-4) @ Worthington Christian (5-1)

[coop]

Indians move on!

Worthington Christian roared out of the gate and caught the Indians unexpectedly with a couple of long pass TDs, and Valley was down a quick 14-0. After that, as we discussed Valley slowly took control of the game as time progressed. Valley put up 2 TDs in the 2nd and we were tied at 14 at the break.

Valley and Worthington traded a few possessions in the 3rd and then Valley went on a nice drive to get down around the 10, Indians threw a 90ish yard pick 6 and found themselves down 21-14. Indians answered the following drive and it was 21-21 headed to the 4th. Valley capitalized on a turnover just past midfield and was able to punch it in and go up 27-21. Worthington had 2 more cracks at it but a turnover and turnover on downs would lead to the Indians kneeling it out for the victory.

I think as we discussed, Valley is pretty talented when playing teams the same size. The Indians wore the Warriors down over the course of the game and if not for the pick 6 would have scored 27 unanswered over the final 3 quarters.

One thing I will say is while playing and watching a lot of high school football, the sportsmanship out of both of these teams was outstanding...which is a reflection of the coaching staffs and leaders in the community.

Great Job Valley! Good Luck next week!

WC entire offense was basically drop back and throw deep. Once Valley started covering the recievers WC didn't do anything else on offense the rest of the game. Valley seemed to take a long time to make adjustments, but once they did they seemed to completely control both sides. WC had a pick 6 for their only points in second half. Announcers said WC had 8 yard total offense in the 3rd and Valley seemed to have the ball the majority of the 4th period.

Great win for a young Valley team


Anyone hear the stats?

Congrats Valley.

Glad to see WC hang tough. Their QB may not look like a whole lot when he walks around in pre-game, but he’s going to be very good as he gets older.

So sorry to the Valley poster that I couldn’t get back to on the seating availability at WC. Hopefully you guys were able to make it...

Congrats to valley! Looks like we play barnesville who just won 63-20. No matter what for this team to win 2 playoff games is huge going into next season.

Valley can play with Barnesville. Elgin had a few wins over BAD D7 teams...Indians are playing with confidence. Don’t turn the ball over and see what happens!

Yeah they have to stop turning the ball over. I admit I know nothing about barnesville.

They’re pretty good, but the 63 is more Elgin being bad vice them being world beaters.

You just never know...

#2 overall seed Centerburg lost to #18 Loudenville tonight.

Go back to region 23 forum. Before playoffs I said Valley and Loudonville the teams top seeds don’t want to play.

Great effort from the young Indians. Smacked quick and down 14-0 but kept grinding and eventually wore down the Warriors.

Another week of every yard gained by either freshmen or sophomores and this team is just getting better. The schedule has prepared them for this and now it is paying off.

I think this team now believes they can win and that is huge for the young guys. Valley may be on house money, but I believe Saturday night will be a war in Barnesville.
