Woodmore football eliminated in second round of OHSAA postseason
Woodmore played the first postseason home game in program history. Visiting Delta, however, spoiled the mood with a 28-0 victory over the Wildcats in Division VI. Woodmore had the ball for only eight possessions, including one with 16 seconds left in the first half. The Wildcats struggled to move the ball, while Delta capped two long drives from the 1 in the first half. Delta added two scores within a 1 minute span in the second half, including a touchdown on defense with an interception. High school cross country girls Lily Kiser runs with Ross history in her heart Coach Scott Stecher knew Woodmore would have to capitalize when it had the ball. "Being old school, time of possession is huge," he said. "We ran six plays in the first half. That hurt. Scoring first didn't concern us. We've been there. We had opportunities, to score and make it a game at the end of the first half and coming out with the ball to start the second half. "We didn't cash in." Woodmore earned a first-round bye after winning 10 games in the regular season for the second time in program history. It finished first in the Sandusky Bay
