Silver Lake Defeats St. Marys With Late TD

From the Capital Journal:

It was another epic showdown between Highway 24 opponents. Silver Lake (3-1) edged St. Marys (3-1) 26-20 thanks to a last second rushing touchdown in the red zone by Jayden Waterer. The Eagles went on the road and delivered St. Marys their first loss of the season. 

Dysen Schooler set the Eagles into the’ red zone with less than a minute to go in the fourth quarter. The quarterback dropped back and found Dayne Johnson on the far sideline. 

Johnson was tackled at the 1-yard line with a few seconds on the clock. Waterer plunged in for the game-winning touchdown on the very next play. It was Waterer’s first carry of the season. 

Silver Lake iced the game by intercepting St. Marys on the final play of regulation. 

Schooler made some big plays for the Eagles in the win. He found Johnson on a 68-yard touchdown pass in the first quarter for Silver Lake’s first points. He also threw a 31-yard touchdown to Brody Deiter on a great post route in the second quarter. 

Allen Lees had a first half rushing touchdown, too. The lone points for the Eagles in the second half came on the short rushing touchdown from Waterer.
