Here is an article on Big Walnut's victory over Ben Buchanan and his Westerville Central Warhawks.

At the game, the announcer dubbed this game as a rivalry beginning like a battle for air superiority between the eagles and warhawks. They had some sort of trophy that the winner will keep for the year! This is pretty cool since Big Walnut is solo now that there are 2 Olentangy high schools and Central is the odd man out in Westerville.

Big Walnut traveled to Pataskala tonight to take on Watkins Memorial. Somewhat of a stalemate the first half but Big Nut came on in the 2nd. The offense, led by Ethan Wetzel, struggled most of the game with penalties, dropped passes, fumbles, you name it....but when Wetzel takes control, he can basically have his way with the option or QB sweep on every set of downs. Which he ended up turning to.

The defense also added a score when Wetzel ran an interception back for a TD and then got flagged after doing a flip in the endzone. The excitement got the best of him, but really that play was the Guillotine and choked the last bit of fight out of Watkins Memorial. Studlein had a great game indicative of the shutout.

Big Nut is a well balanced team and all the kids deserve credit.

Great Job Eagles!!!!

Ethan Wetzel and the Eagles shut down McDougal and the Irish.

Ethan ran back the opening kickoff 100 yards for a TD. That set the tone for this game.

The opening Kickoff has not been run back for 100 yards since 1963 in any Ohio High School Football game!

Sunbury Big Walnut 21, Dublin Scioto 7: The Golden Eagles remained unbeaten with an impressive win over Dublin Scioto. BW quarterback Ethan Wetzel played a large part in the decision by completing 7-of-12 passes for 75 yards and TD and rushing 11 times for 33 yards. Wetzel also returned the opening kickoff 99 yards for a score.

I still say it was 99.75 yards which is 100 in my book

Big Walnut led by killer defense(Liberty had ZERO rushing yards). The score was closer than the actual game.

Edit: Watched the game on TV today and it was a good show for Big Nut.

GO EAGLES!!!!!!!!

UNO DOS!

Big Nut 44
Franklin Heights 18

Will Studlien and Crew had another outstanding game. A little sloppy at times but impressive to say the least.

The offense moved down the field with relative ease and the defense did a good job against their spread offense with the 5 or more wide outs at times. It was cool to see a totally different type of offense than all of our previous opponents.

Halftime: Franklin Heights band really sounded great.

It was a battle royal. I got to give all the kids credit for a hard fought ball game.

The changing point was that Ethan Wetzel suffered a concussion in his TD run before the end of the first half as he didn't play the 2nd half.
