WEEK THREE

 

ST. MARYS -- Dan Fox rushed for 182 yards and two touchdowns to lead St. Marys (1-2) to its first win of the season, a 52-20 pounding of visiting A-C Valley (0-3) Monday night.

Brandon Bennett then found Tony Kopp for a 12-yard pass with only 14 seconds left in the quarter and Dan Fox ran for the two-point conversion giving St. Marys a 14-0 lead.

That is what the score looked like it was going to be heading to the second quarter, but Rich Luchini intercepted a Mike Stewart pass at midfield and took it 50 yards for a touchdown as time expired. Fox's run gave the Dutchmen the 22-0 lead at the end of the first quarter

On its first possession of  second quarter, A-C Valley's Zach Heeter ran 56 yards for a touchdown and then ran for the two-point conversion cutting St. Marys' lead to 22-8 with 11:43 left in the first half.

Fox got the score back for St. Marys on an 11-yard run with 9:27 left, and Kevin Klock caught the two-point conversion giving St. Marys a 30-8 lead.

A-C Valley cut the score to 30-14 when Josh Defibaugh caught a 13-yard pass from Stewart with 7:45 left in the half.

St. Marys, though, came right back on a 14-yard pass from Bennett to Kopp with 1:15 left in the half giving the Dutchmen a 38-14 lead after the two-point conversion run by Fox.

A 33-yard run by Fox with 1:21 left in the third quarter and a two-point run by Fox gave the Dutchmen a 46-14 lead. Osche then finished off the St, Marys' scoring with an 8-yard run with 1:56 left in the game.
