Valley View Online

Valley View enters the week two standings at number 7 despite having no level 2 points. A win against Fenwick would help their position as well as future point potential that Fenwick brings. The Falcons have to be thinking the same thing.

Only the top 8 teams in the region advance to the playoffs, with the top four seeded against the bottom four.

Kyle Pohl connected with Robbie Skidmore for a 37-yard TD pass on the third play of the game as the Spartans rolled to a 48-14 win over the Indian Hill Braves. Pohl also tossed a pair of TD passes to Jordan Crouse (15 yds.) and Tyler Schenck (14 yds.) before the night was over.

It was the fourth Spartan win, in as many attempts, over the Braves and gives the team their second consecutive win of the young season. Indian Hills drops to 0-2.

Valley View quickly struck again on their second possession of the game on a TD that was set up by Chris Lykins. The jr. defensive back stole the ball out right out of the hands of the Indian Hill receiver and ran it back to the Braves 6 yard line. Two plays later, Jake Jarbo, scores on a 1 yard run to boost the Spartan lead, 14-0.

Ben Fannin picks up a first down to help the Spartans to a 48-14 win over the Indian Hill Braves.

“We worked on that pass from Kyle (Pohl) to Robbie (Skidmore) over and over all week,” said Spartan head coach Jay Niswonger. ” I knew if we could just get out in front fast, it would take some of the wind out and set the tone for the game.”

Score fast, they did. Excellent receptions by Jordan Krouse and Skidmore gave the Spartans great gains throughout the second quarter that left Tyler Schenck open in the endzone on two occasions for scores that helped Valley View to a 34-0 lead at the half.

The Braves appeared to come alive in the second half. On their first possession, they marched 8o yards to score on a 1 yard run by sr. QB, Sam Voss. However, the Braves wouldn’t score again until late in the fourth quarter, on a Voss 21-yard run, that was too little, and much too late.

Valley View takes on Bishop Fenwick in Week 3. It will be the home opener against the Falcons. Fenwick is also 2-0 with wins over Oakwood (33-8) and Talawanda (42-0). They were 5-5 in 2009.

It took two safeties and an interception by jr. defensive back Chris Lykins to wake up the sleeping Spartans who went on to  defeat the Dunbar Wolverines, 25-12,  in the second game of a twi-night double header at Welcome Stadium.

Dunbar drew first blood in the second quarter with a 2-yard touchdown by Darold Kelly. The point after failed to give the Wolverines a 6-0 lead. But that score didn’t come easy. A blocking in the back penalty brought back a 79-yard TD run. That began a string of five penalties that saw the drive begin in the first quarter before finally culminating in the 2nd quarter touchdown. The Wolverines were flagged a total of 12 times for 101 yards.

Jake Jarbo rushed for 155 yards on 34 carries in his Spartan debut

Dunbar’s first half miscues were Valley View’s salvation. The Spartans clawed for 22 yards on 27 plays, all on the ground. In a surprising twist from 2009′s aerial attack, which saw sr. QB Kyle Pohl amass 1,746 yards in the air, Coach Jay Niswonger appears to be on the Woody Hayes path to 3 yds and a cloud of dust.

Sr. running back Jake Jarbo appears to be Niswonger’s go to guy in the back field. Jarbo, in his first season with the Spartans, rushed for 155 yards on 34 carries. Jarbo, a transfer from Preble Shawnee, rushed for 1,028 yds last season.

Valley View owned the second half, despite fumbling away the ball just short of scoring during  their first possession. But the turning point came on Dunbar’s next possession when the Spartans defense stepped up and stuffed the Wolverines in the end zone to pickup their first points of the evening. On the ensuing free-kick, Valley View’s Kenny Duff (so. LB) returned the ball 26 yards to set up the Spartans scoring opportunity. From this point on, Valley View was in control.

Valley View will need to be in control from the very first snap of the ball in next week’s showdown with Indian Hill. The Braves, who lost to McNicholas 34-10 in week one, took a commanding lead in their 2009 match-up with the Spartans, before Valley View came roaring back in the second half to win 37-27.  The Spartans ended that game with 336 yds. of total offense.
