Ontario’s Warriors secured a dominant 17-7 victory over the previously undefeated Clear Fork Colts in Mid-Ohio Athletic Conference play. The decisive moment came when junior Cardae Brown requested the ball on a crucial third-down play and delivered a 32-yard reception that set up the game’s final score. His confidence and execution proved pivotal in sealing the win for the home team.
With the Warriors leading 14-7 and facing a critical situation, Brown approached his coach asking to be put in position to make a play. His catch over two defenders advanced the ball significantly, allowing Ontario to control the clock before sophomore kicker Jaxon Craze connected on a 34-yard field goal with just 30.4 seconds remaining. Craze, who stepped into the starting role after an injury to returning All-Ohio kicker Cooper Kilgore, demonstrated composure under pressure by executing the game-clinching kick.
Ontario’s defensive strategy proved highly effective, limiting Clear Fork to just 183 total yards of offense. The Warriors’ secondary speed allowed them to play aggressive coverage while stopping the run, forcing the Colts into one-dimensional play. Brown also contributed defensively with two interceptions that halted Clear Fork scoring opportunities. The Warriors improved to 4-0 overall and 1-0 in conference play, while Clear Fork dropped to 3-1 with their first league loss.
