Conference play is well under way in the GWOC, MVL and SWBL. Surprising starts have piqued everyone’s interest. Springboro, Xenia, Meadowdale and Eaton have emerged as feel-good stories at the midway point.

The GLC Co-ed opens league play next week. Alter, Chaminade Julienne and Carroll find themselves in uphill battles as they try to turn their seasons around. 

WAYNE 34, MIAMISBURG 20 – With just under nine minutes left in the third quarter Wayne took a 14-10 lead on a two-yard run by Jordan Ward. The Warriors never relinquished the advantage behind a 27-point outburst after halftime.

The affair came down to running the football. Wayne churned out 281 yards and averaged 7.2 yards per rush. Senior Tyler Dorsey led the way with a career high 167 yards and a touchdown. Ward finished with 79 yards a pair of scores rushing. Miamisburg was stymied by the Warriors defense which held them to 67 yards on 30 totes.

Freshman quarterback Tyrell Lewis had his third two-touchdown game passing, in his young career, for the victors. He finished the night with 179 yards through the air.

Here are some other scores from Dayton area teams in action in Week 5:

GWOC
SPRINGBORO 15, FAIRMONT 14 – Perseverance pays off as Springboro (3-2,2-0) outlasts Fairmont (4-1, 1-1) in a dogfight. With 2:11 left in the game Springboro quarterback Sam Feldman and Mason Leach connected on a 25-yards touchdown pass to tie the game. The extra point by Luke Zier was the deciding margin. It was the Panthers only lead of the contest.

The Fairmont defense has been dominant against the run, and they were again on Friday night. The Firebirds held Springboro to just 31 yards on 21 carries. Over the last four weeks Fairmont has held foes to just 2.7 yards per carry and 37.8 yards per contest while yielding only two touchdowns. Feldman got the biggest of those two scores versus the Firebirds on a one-yard plunge right before halftime.

Feldman finished 15-21 for 131 yards with a passing and a rushing touchdown. Leach had 6 receptions for 63 yards, the touchdown catch, and the games only takeaway with an interception. Fairmont junior Drew Baker ran for 139 yards with two trips to the end zone. It was his eighth straight game with more than 100 yards rushing. In that span, Baker has 1,292 yards (161.5/game) and 14 touchdowns on the ground.
