Steubenville leading entering the fourth quarter
CANTON -- Steubenville is currently trailing 7-6 in the second quarter of its Division III, Region 11 championship game here. The Big Red scored on their first possession, but Dover's Ricky Maz proceeded to run the ensuing kickoff back 90 yards and the PAT was true. After a fairly uneventful second quarter, the Steubenville defense held again and got the ball back on its own 40 yards. Operating without a timeout, the Big Red navigated down the field in 65 seconds using nine plays, including two spikes. Dwight Macon plunged in from 3 yards out. He then ran for the two-point conversion, putting the Big Red up 14-7. Dover then ran the kickoff back to the Big Red 40 and after Jesse Birden laid a lick on Tornadoe quarterback Marcus Mamarella, forcing him to the sideline for the final play of the half, which saw Derek Swinderman throw a pick at the 10-yard line. In the first half, Steubenville out-gained Dover 221-9. The Tornadoes have yet to record a first down.
