November 2, 2017



DAYTON – On Senior Night Friday, the DW football team dropped its final game of the regular season against Liberty Christian, 42-7. The loss ended DW’s season without a win.

LC scored on its first drive, and then, after DW went three-and-out, got a second TD on the ensuing punt return.

The DW D stepped up after that, getting three turnovers before the half. Junior Helm picked off a pass late in the first quarter, and then Cade Branson recovered a fumble caused by a Carson Allessio sack late in the second quarter.

On their next drive, DW got their lone score of the game, when quarterback Shawn Evans hit Chris Andrews for a 17-yard touchdown pass.

Colton Johnson then picked off an LC pass on the next possession, and DW drove the ball to the LC 38, but was stopped. The half ended with the score 22-7.

LC scored once in the third quarter to push the lead to 28-7.

Early in the fourth, DW drove the ball to the two-yard-line, but was unable to punch the ball in, as LC made a successful goal-line stand.

LC scored twice more, and DW was unable to mount any further offensive threat.

For the game, Evans was six-for-20 passing, for 56 yards and a TD. He threw two interceptions. Brayden Miller ran the ball 15 times for 82 yards. Andrews had three receptions for 27 yards and a TD.

On Defense, Branson had 13 tackles and Allessio had 11.

DW was to travel to Bridgeport Friday for a crossover playoff game, but the game has been cancelled. DW ends its season 0-9.
