CARDINALS GET PAST QUAKERS IN ROUND ONE

CANFIELD, OH- The Canfield Cardinals hosted the New Philadelphia Quakers in round one of the Ohio high school playoffs. The Quakers controlled the time of possession throughout the ballgame to keep it close, but a jolt by the Cardinals offense in the fourth quarter pushed the Cardinals into the second round.

Canfield started off strong on the first possession of the ballgame with a touchdown run from half back Danny Inglis to make it 7-0. The Quakers would respond in the second quarter with a long sustained drive that resulted in a Konnor Tetzloff touchdown reception to tie the ballgame at 7. The Quakers would recover an onside kick in the second quarter to take the ball back and kick a 48 yard field goal from senior kicker Nathaniel Demuth to take a 10-7 lead. The Cardinals would end the first half with a touchdown after a quarterback keeper from Broc Lowry to take a 14-10 lead at the end of the first half.

Neither team was able to get on the board in the third quarter, but the Cardinals clicked offensively in the fourth quarter to put the game away. Inglis had his second rushing touchdown of the night to take a 21-10 lead at the beginning of the fourth quarter. Later on in the fourth, Lowry found sophomore tight end Angelo DeLucia to seal the game at 27-10. The Cardinals will host the Aurora Greenmen next Friday at Bob Dove Field.
