Licking Valley seniors wrap up second straight 10-0 regular season
ZANESVILLE ― There's no turning back now for Licking Valley after a second consecutive unbeaten regular season. The Panthers' veteran coaching staff made sure there was no letdown after the big win against Granville, when they took the John D. Sulsberger Memorial Stadium turf on Oct. 23. Valley (10-0, 5-0) spoiled senior night for Zanesville with a dominant 48-7 win that wrapped up a third consecutive Licking County League-Buckeye Division title. "We had to take care of business," said senior wideout-defensive back Brandt Lichtenauer. "The coaches rode our tails all week and pushed us harder than we thought we were going to be pushed." The Panthers jumped to a 35-0 halftime lead, forcing a running second-half clock, and never punted as they ended the valiant turnaround season of the Blue Devils (5-5, 2-3), who downed rival Newark and put themselves in playoff position, only to drop the final two games to Watkins Memorial and Valley. That was after ending a 26-game losing streak. "They got hot at the beginning of the season, so we knew this was no easy game," said senior quarterback Brody Rodgers, who threw three touchdown passes, two to favorite target Carter Nethers, and ran for a
