TIGERS EYEING TOP OF THE CONFERENCE

By Ty Bartell

 

ATWATER, OH — The Springfield Tigers delivered a commanding performance in their Mahoning Valley Athletic Conference (MVAC) Scarlet Division opener, defeating the Waterloo Vikings 49-6 on the road Friday night.

The Tigers’ offense and defense clicked early in the game. Springfield’s Dante Gentile opened the scoring on with a 6-yard touchdown run, followed by a successful extra point by Kasen Kosek. Waterloo briefly answered with a 30-yard touchdown pass from Landon McClain to Matthew Ralston, though their subsequent two-point conversion attempt failed.
Springfield quickly regained control as Wyatt Kuboff’s 70-yard run set up a 3-yard rushing touchdown by Gentile. The Tigers further extended their lead with a 40-yard interception return for a touchdown by Isaac Lamorticella, with Kosek adding the extra point to make it 21-6.

In the second quarter, Springfield continued to assert dominance. Brayden Baird threw two touchdown passes to Carson Cunningham, one for 35 yards and another for 15 yards, both followed by successful extra points from Kosek.

The Tigers kept their foot on the gas in the third quarter. Joey Centofanti added two rushing touchdowns, first from 4 yards out and then from 6 yards, with both extra points converted by Kosek. The game was effectively put out of reach with the running clock starting due to the 35-point deficit.

She’s the ultimate jack of all trades, and no matter where Springfield needs her, she steps up and delivers.

Statistically, Brungard is a standout. She’s posted 113 kills, averaging 3.6 per set, ranking second on the team. She leads the squad in digs with 127, and she’s second in aces with 27.
