(I am using rosters from hudl.com and maxpreps.com)

Tonight in Heath, the Pirates of Wheelersburg Sailed into Swank field and made the Bulldogs of Heath walk the plank to the tune of a 41-0 setback, in a game that was never in doubt.

Trent Salyers would hit Pirate teammate,Mack Dyer for a 24-yard gain, at the 10:47 mark of the first quarter.
The Bulldogs defense got a nice play from Freshman Dane Hogue and friends got to Trey Carter for a one-yard-loss, with 9:33 left on the first quarter clock.
The Pirates drive ended with a 37 yard field goal being badly missed by Jalen Miller, with 9:09 left.

The Pirated defense would get a nice play from Nic Parsley, when he got to Heath's quarterback Tyler Karr for a sack and a big loss.
The Pirates defense yielded little on the Heath drive and got the ball back for its offense at their own 39-yard-line.

The Pirates offense needed just 3-plays to go the 61-yards needed for the first score of the contest. The scoring play came on a 50-yard pass thrown by Salyers and caught by Tanner Holden. The point after from Miller gave the Pirates the lead at 7-0, with 4:40 left.

Karr would be sacked for a 4-yard loss by CJ Hall, with 3:53 left in the quarter. The sack put the ball back to the Pirates 18 yard-line and put the Bulldogs in a 3rd and 14 to go, to get the first now. The Pirates defense would hold the Bulldogs and kept them off of the board in doing so.

With 2:55 left in the quarter, the Pirates got a 63-yard touchdown reception by,Holden on a pretty pass thrown by Salyers. The point after made this a 14-0 game.

Austin Morrow would nearly throw a pick on a little trick play,with 1:24 left in the quarter, but the ball would be caught by #14 Kris Kirchoff , for a much needed Bulldog first down. The drive closed out just a few plays later and put a very dangerous Pirate offense back on the field.

Just fourteen seconds into the 2nd quarter the Pirates got a 50-yard pass from Salyers to Holden as this combo continue to be a pain in the Bulldogs side. With 11:10 left in the half, the same combo struck again, this time for a 34-yard score. Salyers would throw another pass right on target and Holden ran into the end zone with little to stop him. The point after made this a 21-0 game.

At the 9:53 mark of the quarter, Simon Romine would be knocked down by #21 Mason Johnson for an eight-yard-loss.
With 8:12 left in the half , the Bulldogs defense showed a little bark, when#13 Austin Morrow picked off a Salyers pass.

The Heath offense could not take advantage of the gift from its defense because Karr was picked off by Makya Matthews, with 7:51 left in the half. The Pirates defense had played a solid game up to this point as it constantly put crazy pressure on the Bulldogs offense.

Facing a 4th and three, with less than four minutes left in the half, the Pirates pulled off a nasty fake punt, when Xander Carmichael completed a first down pass to Justin Salyers.

The pirates went up 27-0, when Dominic Reyes plowed in from a yard out, in large part because of the work up front by the big hog-mollies. The point after was wide left, keeping this a 27-0 contest, with 51.4 seconds left in the one-side half.

Holden would pick off another Karr pass to end the half and he almost took it to the house, as he was stopped inside the five yard-line.
At the half the unofficial yardage was,340 for the Pirates to 53 for the Bulldogs.

Just 16 seconds into the third quarter Karr was picked off again, this time by 6-2-212 middle linebacker Evan Dahm. Dahm would look like a rumbling, tumbling fullback as he made a nice return of the pick.

#4 Cole Lowery would haul in a Salyers screen pass and run to a 32-yard gain. Some nice blocking and excellent field vision led to the big gain. Little happen after this one the drive as the Bulldogs defense was still putting forth a nice effort, even with this game way out of reach.

Facing a 3rd and two situation the Pirates used a 14-yard run to not only get the first but also the score by Salyers. The point after gave us a 34-0 score, with 2:57 left in the third quarter.

There was 7:55 left in this one, when the Licking County fan player of the game Trent Salyers hooked up with Cameron Howard for a gain of thirty yards. The last score came at the 6:42 mark of the final frame, when Josh Henderson hit pay dirt from 12-yards out. The point after gave us the 41-0 final.
