POLAND SETS UP SECOND MEETING WITH WILDCATS

POLAND OH- Poland continued their blazing hot streak as they ventured into the playoffs, securing a resounding victory over East Liverpool with a final score of 42-14.

Right from the kickoff, Poland asserted their dominance, surging to a commanding 21-0 lead before East Liverpool could even catch their breath. The Bulldogs displayed their offensive prowess, amassing a total of 336 yards.

Quarterback Dom Pagano orchestrated the offense brilliantly, completing 9 of 10 passes for 164 yards and connecting for two crucial touchdowns. He didn’t stop there, contributing on the ground with a touchdown run of his own.

The ground game was equally impressive for Poland, with Cole Fulton and Danny Nittoli shouldering much of the workload. Both players found the end zone with rushing touchdowns, and Fulton led the way with an impressive 94 yards on just seven carries.

Poland’s defense was relentless for the majority of the game, keeping East Liverpool’s offensive efforts at bay for three quarters. The Bulldogs’ defensive starters yielded little to their opponents, limiting their progress.

Although East Liverpool managed to score two fourth-quarter touchdowns, with Gavin Wright connecting with Blake Adkins and Dorian Burchett, Poland’s defense proved dominant throughout. The Potters were restricted to just 167 total yards, including a mere 34 rushing yards.

With this decisive win, Poland advanced to face Struthers, who narrowly defeated Girard 21-16 in their recent matchup. The Bulldogs had already squared off against Struthers in the regular season finale, narrowly edging out a thrilling 28-27 overtime victory. The playoffs promise even more exciting matchups, and Poland’s impressive form carries them into the next round with high hopes.
