The winner of Week 8 of The Icon Football Contest is Ruth Johnson. Four contestants correctly picked all 10 games this week, but Ruth was declared the winner by correctly predicting Bluffton to win by 19 or more points.
A 28-point first half was enough to guide the visiting Ada Bulldogs to their fourth straight victory as they marched into Goodwin Field last Friday night and defeated the Allen East Mustangs, 28-22. Freshman quarterback Seth Conley threw four touchdowns, helping the Bulldogs advance their record to (5-3) overall and (4-2) in the Northwest Conference.
Senior Patrick Angle threw for a career-high 398 yards and four touchdowns to lead Ohio Northern to a 38-24 football victory at Capital Saturday afternoon at Bernlohr Stadium.
The Polar Bears improve to 3-3 overall and are 2-3 in Ohio Athletic Conference play, while the Crusaders fall to 2-4, 1-4.
Angle accounted for five scores overall, as he completed 24-of-31 passes for 398 yards and ran eight times for 34 yards and another score.
Junior Devon Price and sophomore Reed Allen each had big days receiving. Price caught 11 passes for 170 yards and a TD and Allen caught five passes for 165 yards and two touchdowns.
A late game blocked punt led to a Jordan Bailey touchdown, giving Ada a lead they would not relinquish, as the Bulldogs would go on to defeat the unbeaten Crestview Knights, 22-15 on Friday.
Trailing by a point with just over five minutes left in the game, the Bulldog special teams would play the role of hero. On fourth and long, a mob of Ada defenders blocked Crestview punter Seth Moser's kick and Sophomore Jordan Bailey scooped up the loose ball and took it to the house.
Solid defense the rest of the way preserved the Bulldog victory, moving them to (4-3) overall and (3-2) in the Northwest Conference.
The winner of Week 6 of The Icon Football Contest is Chris Boisvert. Two contestants correctly picked 8 contests this week, neither correctly picked Tie-Breaker #1 and Chris was declared the winner by correctly picking Tie-Breaker #2.
