Beavercreek making history
Here are some things that happened the last time Beavercreek started 3-0: Monday Night Football began, the Beatles broke up and Richard Nixon was president. Yes, these are great days to be a Beaver. Beavercreek remained undefeated after its 45-21 win over Sidney on Friday, Sept. 5, ending the Yellow Jackets’ own bid to stay unbeaten.
Star of the game: Take your pick. Is it Beavercreek quarterback Tim Carroll, who completed 10-of-14 passes for 124 yards and 2 TDs and scrambled 53 yards for 2 more TDs? How about Beavercreek receiver Joe Joyce, who caught five passes for 88 yards and a TD and ran for another? Or even defensive lineman Adam Walls, who recovered a fumble in the first quarter and had a key third-down sack to force a punt in the third quarter. I’ll go with Gabe Henry. He couldn’t walk off the field on his own power after rolling his ankle on Creek’s opening drive. He returned to rush for 177 yards on 25 carries and a TD. Sidney’s Jack Foy (175 yards total offense and a 95-yard kickoff return for a TD) deserves mention, too.
Turning point: Trailing 31-21 with 11:10 left in the fourth quarter, Sidney went for it on fourth-and-2 from their own 40. Foy broke a tackle in the backfield but couldn’t elude a pair of Creek defenders closing fast. The Beavers used the short field for a four-play drive, capped by Brad Sundstrom’s 5-yard TD catch, to make it 38-21 just two minutes later.
What this means: Beavercreek has a way to go before challenging for the Greater Western Ohio Conference Central title, but the Beavers can’t be taken for granted. Sidney, which wore down against Creek’s size advantage, is still a player in the GWOC North despite the loss.
Quote: “We can’t get too crazy,” said Beavercreek coach Scott Clodfelter. “It doesn’t matter if its 3-0 or 4-0. Fairborn is next week and that’s what the kids have to buy into.”
On deck: Beavercreek is at Fairborn and Miamisburg is at Sidney in GWOC crossover games.

What about the offensive line of Beavercreek? What a great improvement over the last several years. Yes, G.Henry and J Joyce did a great job but lets look at the guys who protect them for a change…
