At halftime, Ross was leading 7-6. In the second half, neither team was budging on defense until Edgewood allowed Ross to get into field goal range and junior kicker Jonathon Neumaier was able to knock a 23-yard field goal through the up rights.

The defense from Ross was able to hold Edgewood to zero points in the second half, allowing their offense to milk the clock and come away with the win.

Both teams didn’t play their best football, giving up two turnovers a piece. However, what killed Edgewood was allowing Ross to win the possession battle 30:09 to 17:51.

Ross went into this rivalry game as huge underdogs because of Edgewood’s undefeated record, but by trusting in their defense they showed that they can play with any team in the Southwest Ohio Conference.
