Another Dover football comeback comes up one score short in regional semifinals
STEUBENVILLE – That Dover still had a chance in the fourth quarter of its rematch with Steubenville was equal parts shocking and unsurprising. Those who followed the Crimson Tornadoes in the regular season were well-schooled on their grit and resilience. It showed in Ohio Cardinal Conference wins against West Holmes and rival New Philadelphia, games it overcame deficits to win. But this was a three-score hole at Harding Stadium, where second-half comebacks come about as often as winning Powerball tickets. Yet, here Dante Clark and Dover were, within a touchdown midway through the fourth quarter. Was another rally in store? Not this time. Dover had the ball with a chance to tie with 4:04 left, but senior safety Braidyn Edwards intercepted a deep ball over the middle — his second of the game — and Steubenville ran out the clock for a 21-14 win on Friday, Nov. 13, in the OHSAA Division III football playoffs.
