SOUTH RANGE TOO MUCH FOR INDIANS
CANFIELD, OH- South Range powered past the Girard Indians in a high-octane game, rolling to a 48-30 victory on November 8, 2024. They kicked things off with an explosive first quarter, with Aiden Dominguez punching through the defense for a 42-yard touchdown, and Tristan Toy following up with a 2-yard score. By the time halftime rolled around, South Range held a solid lead at 21-10.
Dylan Sesko would open up the second half with a 92-yard kickoff return for a touchdown to ignite the Raider faithful. However, the Indians fought back, with Dom Tallone connecting with Nick Rafferty and then adding a field goal to narrow the gap. But South Range had more up their sleeve. Dominguez kept breaking through, racking up 117 rushing yards on 16 carries, averaging 7.3 yards per carry. Toy made his mark, too, with three touchdowns and a sharp 20-yard pass to Heath Crouse for another score.
The defense didn’t let up either. Luke Starkey led the charge with 10 tackles, two sacks, and four tackles for loss, keeping the Indians from building momentum. And in the fourth, Drew Starkey snagged a fumble recovery and bolted 42 yards to the house, sealing the game with his first-career varsity touchdown.
South Range’s balanced game on both sides of the ball proved too much for the Indians, as they walked away with a 48-30 win and a statement game heading into the next round. This will set up a Week 13 matchup between the undefeated Raiders, and Sugarcreek Garaway.
