New Lexington defense answers challenge in victory vs. Philo
NEW LEXINGTON — Tanner Toth and his New Lexington teammates heard the number 342 all week. It was the yardage Philo's Slade Sprankle churned up against Heath in Week 1. The Panthers ensured Sprankle did not repeat his historic effort on Friday. The New Lex defense kept the Philo senior in check, while Toth's 53-yard pick six in the second quarter sparked a 36-14 victory at Jim Rockwell Stadium. "Hearing 342 put a fire under us. Our defense wanted to show what we could do," Toth said. "Our coaches focus on preparation. They had us ready for what we were going to see. "(On my interception), they ran a RPO earlier with that slant route. I talked to the coaches and made an adjustment," he said. "We played to the backside, and I slipped underneath to make the play. It gave us the momentum we needed." Toth's touchdown made it 21-8, and Lane Ratliff capped a strong first half with a 26-yard touchdown run to put New Lex up 27-8 at the half. It was one of three rushing TDs for Ratliff, who had 86 yards on eight carries. He also completed 13-of-19 passes for 147 yards, including a 25-yard
