Week 13: Marlington vs Dover

• J-Dover

  

  Good post at ohio.com.....
  
  
  The Division III Region 11 regional final is a matchup of power football in Marlington and Cinderella in Dover. The Tornadoes (10-2) are coming off a 34-28 win over Thornville Sheridan in overtime in the regional semifinal after stunning Steubenville in the quarterfinals 31-28.
  The great year Marlington has had into football in reflected in some post season honors already.
  Alden Hill, the 6-2 220-pound junior, was named offensive player of the year Associated Press Northeast All-Inland team and Ed Miley was voted coach of the year. Fellow running back Dymonte Thomas was First Team as a defensive back, as was junior linebacker Clayton Staib and big junior offensive lineman Zach Higgins (6-5 295). Fellow senior O-lineman Nate Manos (6-4 285) made Second Team and did senior linebacker Tyler Siefke .
  Thomas (200+ yards in the regional semifinal) and Hill (2000 yards this season) are a dynamite duo that rarely does one team possess.
  Dover is a diverse offense with QB Derik Swinderman has eye-popping numbers with 3,467 yards in the air (213-of-342) with 32 touchdowns and 12 interceptions and a top flight receiver in Colton Zahner with 1,503 yards and 21 TDs. Keith Johnson is a good runner, totaling 1,015 yards and 21 TDs.
  Some numbers to consider – This is the fourth time the Dukes (12-0) reached the playoffs and first two wins are both this year. Dover is in its 14th trip to the post season and the Tornadoes are 10-13 and the two last met in 1992 when both were in the NBC, where Dover had a 3-1 advantage in the series.

  LocoEngineer66 "I think Carrollton has a real shot at beating Dover"
  No sweat though, its hard to convey sarcasm/humor (as I am doing) in typed threads.
  
  Does anyone know if the game will be on WTOV9? Or channel 2?

  I do have thicker skin ... but trying to make someone look like an idiot with old posts I don't take as sarcasm. A prediction about any team in the first game of the season has a very good chance of being wrong. Carrollton had a good year the year before and only lost 3 starters so yes I did BELIEVE they had a chance to beat Dover. So I was wrong! I was rooting for Dover before this week and was glad to give you guys the few points that we could this year. But I will support our fellow NBC brothers till they get eliminated. Then I will root for Region 11 to win State.

  I have seen Dover play at a very high level in which they scored 63 points. And I have seen Marlington play 4 times. I don't believe anyone in the state could hold them to 14 points. And it works both ways ... I don't think Marlington will hold Dover to 14 either.

  I don't think you're an idiot, and yes, digging up old posts from the beginning of the season is an extraordinary easy cheap shot....thats why it wasnt meant to be taken seriously.

  Good Luck Dover!!!
  
  The Red Riders are rooting for you!

  This game will be descided by just a few key plays. Big stops. Turnovers. Both teams have the offence to pull away from the other. It's going to come down to heart. If it's descided by more than a touchdown I will be suprised. The boys will just have to play tonight and see who wants it more. Neither team should be ashamed to be beat by the other. I know one thing we're gonna see some offence Tonight's gonna be a GOOD GOOD NIGHT.
  
  Good luck Tornado's

  After what Marlington did to my Panthers last weekend I am not surprised they are taking it to Dover. Their RB duo is outstanding.
