Rebels pound the Princes, 53-12

IMG_49992Stark County looked more like a force to be reckoned with this week after destroying Princeville 53-12 Friday night.

“Right from the start we are obviously able to establish ourselves on the offense,” said Coach Jade Noard. “We were picking up a lot of yard on first downs.”

The running game made big improvements over last week, with Dalton Miller posting 187 yards and quarterback Justin Kohler taking the ball 116 yards.

“Dalton Miller is hard to bring down with one guy, they got to bring a couple, and that opens things up” said Noard about his 6’3” senior running back.
