NEW MATAMORAS — Frontier, hopeful of making the final playoff cut in Ohio Division VI, Region 23, finished strong with junior Reid Tilton providing a positive burst of energy in a 43-13 rout of River (2-8) Friday evening. Tilton scored four touchdowns in a variety of ways. He broke off a long 62-yard run to open the scoring for the Cougars, hauled in a 10-yard pass from QB Corey Fickiesen for another six points and later added a 15-yard TD run. Tilton’s most electrifying play would ensue as he followed up a crushing hit by Frontier’s Lance Felton on River receiver Austin McConn, picked up the loose ball on the run and took it 59 yards for yet another score only 24 seconds after his previous touchdown. Depending on how shakes out, Tilton may get that opportunity. The Cougars (7-3) went into Friday’s game ranked ninth among the top teams in Region 23 and need to finish among the top eight to make the playoffs.
