Streetsboro rolls to a 42-0 win at Field
BRIMFIELD, OH- It was a Week 8 Metro Athletic Conference matchup at Kenneth W. Lohr Stadium where the Field Falcons hosted the Streetsboro Rockets. The Falcons were looking to snap a 4-game losing streak while the Rockets looked to maintain their current #2 Region seeding in the Division IV computer playoff rankings. This one was all Streetsboro from start to finish as they took home the 42-0 win.
The Rockets would receive the opening kickoff and wasted no time getting the offense going. Dallas Morris started it off with a 15-yard run followed by runs of 4 and 16 yards from Logan Fincham. Three plays later it was Fincham taking it in for the score from 16 yards out. Logan Sadowski drilled the PAT to make it an early Rockets 7-0 lead.

Field would be forced to punt on their first possession, but would come up with a big defensive play when Parker Lemasters picked off a Colton Cox pass at the Falcons 34-yard line. Unfortunately for them the Rockets held them to a three and out forcing another punt. Dallas Morris broke a big 45-yard punt return to the Falcons 18-yard line. From there it was back to back Logan Fincham runs of 17 yards followed by recovering his own fumble in the end zone for another Rockets touchdown. Sadowski split the uprights for a 14-0 lead.
The Falcons would move the ball across midfield on their next drive before stalling at the Rockets 43-yard line. They would attempt a 53-yard field goal that fell just short. Streetsboro would then go on a 11-play drive highlighted by two straight Cox completions for 1st downs. A few plays later Liam Fincham would take it around end to the house for a 28-yard touchdown run. Sadowski went 3/3 making it a 21-0 lead.

After a short kickoff, the Falcons would move the ball inside the Rockets 5-yard line, but could not penetrate the Streetsboro defense to get into the end zone. Their 20-yard field goal attempt was blocked by Dallas Morris who came flying in from the edge. That would take us into halftime with Streetsboro leading 28-0.
After a Falcons three and out to start the 3rd, the Rockets drove inside the Falcons 5-yard line. The Field defense came up with a big goal line stand and held on 4th and goal turning the ball back over to them. They were unable to capitalize on the defensive momentum having to punt the ball back to the Rockets.
It took one play for Streetsboro as Cox hit Noah Hodge with a pass over the middle that he took the rest of the way for a 74-yard touchdown. Another Sadowski PAT made this a 35-0 game and started the running clock.
