Fort Loramie fought hard in their non-league contest Friday night against the Dixie Greyhounds, but the Greyhounds finally edged out the Redskins after an intense night of play.

Dixie pulled ahead early with a 14-0 lead in the first quarter. Quarterback Nick Worley shined, completing six of his first seven passes for 93 yards and one touchdown. Fort Loramie quarterback responded with a 53-yard touchdown strike to Tyler Rose in the second quarter. The Redskins scored again with less than five minutes left in the half to take a narrow lead, 16-14. However, Dixie was able to come back, thanks in part to a short kickoff and a 15-yard penalty against Fort Loramie. The Greyhounds scored again, recapturing the lead at 22-16. Finally, with 20 seconds left of play in the half, Mitch Raterman plunged into the endzone from two yards out, tying the game at 22.
The third quarter passed by with both teams adding a touchdown and a two-point conversion to their scores, keeping the score tied at 30 with 12 minutes left in the game. The fourth quarter was a battle of field position and defense. After another Redskin touchdown, Fort Loramie led 36-30, but Dixie roared back on their next possession with a drive of 82 yards in five plays. Worley ended with a 13-yard touchdown pass to Woody Earls, ending the game at 37-36.
“We had too many misses on both sides of the ball,” Fort Loramie head coach Jon McCumber said. “We need to start making plays. Give Dixie credit. They ran their routes and played better defense.”
Fort Loramie drops to 1-2 total and will host Ada on Friday night.
