ASHLAND -- It took nearly five hours to complete the task, but #2 Ashland would eventually outlast #7 Norwalk on their home turf with a 21-7 victory at Community Stadium to advance in the Division III Region 10 playoffs to the semifinals. 

​

The Arrows (7-1) took an early 7-0 lead after the Truckers (4-4) muffed the opening kick and Declan Rohr cashed in on the short field with a 2-yard TD run. A more than 2-hour lightning delay would then pass through the area before both teams took the field again after 9:30 pm.

​

The wet conditions would lead to a Norwalk fumble on the first possession back after the delay, scooped up by Kadin Schmitz who returned it back for an Ashland TD and a 14-0 edge. The Truckers would cut the deficit in half on their opening drive of the second quarter when Garrett Chapin connected with Oliver Maloney for a 10-yard TD, but that's the only points they would produce on the night despite outgaining the Arrows 289-244 in total offense.

​

The biggest play of the night came late in the third when the Bo Lacey Player of the Game, Declar Rohr found Landon McFrederick for an 83-yard TD to extend their lead to 21-7 and the Ashland defense took care of the rest. The Arrows will now advance to face #6 Holy Name in the Regional Semifinals.
