OHIO — After a benign first half with no scoring, Middletown and Wayne turned up the excitement with the Middies scoring the winning touchdown with just 34 seconds left, to win the Region 2 championship, 21-14.
— Watch the full replay here —
Middletown’s Jordan Vann took back the opening kickoff of the third quarter to break the scoreless tie. On the ensuing kickoff, Ohio State commit Jamier Brown returned the favor. It was the second straight week the wideout scored a long special teams touchdown, returning a punt for six against Troy.
In the fourth quarter, Brown hauled in a touchdown reception to put the Warriors ahead, 14-7. However, with just under five minutes remaining, Demetrian James, knotted things up again with a scoring run.
Vann’s secord touchdown with less than a minute to play provided the winning margin for the Middies (11-2), who advance to face St. Xavier next Friday in a Division I state semifinal.
Wayne’s season concludes with a 9-5 mark.
