SALEM — The Penn-Ohio Classic is always a highly competitive all-star football contest featuring local standouts against the best from Pennsylvania. However, the 46th version of the game from Sebo Stadium in Salem was dominated by the Ohio team, which won convincingly 30-7.

Ohio would tally 341 yards in the game while holding Pennsylvania to 165. The Buckeyes outrushed the Keystoners 231 to 67 and passed for 110 yards compared to 98 for Pennsylvania.

The Ohio squad set the tone out of the gates with a quick three-and-out on defense, and then a 7-play, 42-yard drive to score at the 6:34 mark to take a 7-0 lead. Tristan Toy from South Range plowed into the end zone from a yard out for the touchdown.

Toy was named the Ohio offensive player of the game for his efforts. He rushed for 121 yards and scored 2 touchdowns to lead the Buckeyes. His second score was a 75-yard jaunt around right end, which put Ohio up 24-0 on their first possession of the second half.

On the defensive side, D’Shawn Kirby from East Liverpool would take home player of the game honors. Kirby would terrorize the Keystoners with two sacks and numerous tackles behind the line of scrimmage.

Fitch’s Anthony Ruggles added three field goals to help power the Ohio team with boots from 30, 29, and 46 yards. He also booted 7 touchbacks on eight kickoffs to force the Pennsylvania team to drive the field length.
