Roger Bacon outlasts Wyoming 26-21 in D-III OHSAA first-round playoff game
For Cincysportszone.com
Roger Bacon received the ball first and started with a fast drive that ended with a 45-yard TD pass from quarterback Tanner Sprong to wideout Mike Jackson. That, and a missed extra point, gave Bacon a 6-0 lead only 3 minutes into Saturday night’s first-round Division III, Region 12 Ohio High School Athletic Association playoff game.
Wyoming, the No. 6 seed, didn’t take long to strike back. The Cowboys used their ground attack and marched down the field to the 3-yard line, only to fumble into the hands of Bacon’s Devon Thomas. With 3:21 left in the first quarter, tailback Dalen Wess — who spelled starter Griffin Mouty, who was out with an injury — took a handoff from Sprong for a 20-yard gain.
In the second quarter, the Cowboys took to the air and used a 58-yard pass from quarterback Kyle Seyfried to receiver Jonathan Tighe to land them on the 2-yard line. A quick pitch to score and an extra point later put Wyoming up 7-6. Bacon went to its own air attack as Sprong connected with Brian Bien to score with 9:34 left in the half. That gave Bacon a 13-7 lead.
Both teams traded interceptions, but Wyoming was able to turn theirs into a touchdown to take a 14-13 lead to the locker room at halftime.
The start of the second half featured stout defensive play from both sides, as the Spartans (seeded No. 3 in the region by the OHSAA) and Cowboys traded several short offensive series of three-plays-and-out. Wyoming figured out how to break the three-and-out code first, hooking up on a 67-yard pass and then running a sweep around end for another touchdown with 9:53 left in the quarter. That gave the Cowboys a 21-13 advantage.
Roger Bacon refused to give in. The ensuing kick return gave the Spartans good field position at their own 46 yard line. The drive ended with Sprong hitting Will Farrell for a touchdown. Bacon's attempt for the two-point conversion, on a pass to Wess, failed. That left Wyoming a 21-19 lead with 7:07 to play in the game.
The Cowboys went to their ground attack in an attempt to drain the game clock. But the Spartans’ defense overwhelmed the Cowboys as combination of busted plays and penalties stalled Wyoming. A failed fourth-and-one from the Bacon 30 gave the Spartans the ball.
The winning play began with Sprong and Wess going left on a fake option. That led to a pitch from Sprong toBrian Bien, who pulled up and tossed a 70-yard bomb to Jackson. The touchdown and extra point kick fromNick Linder put Bacon ahead, 26-21.
Wyoming, seeded No. 6 in the region, ended its season with a 9-2 record. Bacon improved to 8-3 and will advance to the next round of the OHSAA playoffs.

Church Corporate Buzz: I plan to use this section to let you know what I have been hearing as suggestions and ideas for ministry. I want your feedback on the following.
Questions in the May 2010 report | Response to August 2010 questions |
Why can’t we receive this updates more frequently? Like on a monthly basis or in the bulletin each week? | I plan to continue using the 60 day cycle to share activity updates. With that said, we will also continue to use other avenues for more frequent updates; such as email updates for Winky, the new blogsite, facebook and the weekly bulletin. |
Is the student intern ever coming back to share his gifts with us again? | We certainly enjoyed |
Why are these updates so long? So much information! | I plan to consider the content of this update to produce a more manageable amount or reading. There is quite a bit of activity at Dayspring right now. I will do my best to keep everyone well informed with current information. |
Regarding the concerts that are being held here. Is there a reason why not too much was shared with the church at large? | So many activities go on here at Dayspring. Thus reason we are viewed as the “place with the space”. As a church we realize the opportunity we have for better communicating our events and are working toward increasing and enhancing our practice of effective advertising and promoting both in the community and internally. |
New buzz With all of this campaign talk, can we also have drives and request for the church members to bring all of their recyclable cans so we can raise money that way? | Response will be in next update. Fund raisers of many types add value and can even be a fun way to join in as a team to achieve financial goals. As we move forward with the campaign, our campaign advisors suggest that during the campaign drive we should try to keep to a minimum other fund raising projects. With that said we have turned this over to the children’s ministry and they may consider this approach as a way to get our kids more involved with campaign effort. |
To increase our outreach of food to provide those in need, can we periodically ask the church members to bring in can goods and boxed foods to replenish our food pantry. | My research shows that this effort has been done in the past. This will be passed on to the appropriate area to consider. |

Stop! Time for a maintenance check!
So, I find myself sitting at Performance Toyota where I have dropped my son's car off because it needed to have its brakes checked. When my son first shared this problem with me he told me that when he would try to brake, the car would stop, but the pedal would go all the way to the floor.
When I took a look at it, I gave it a quick look over and discovered quickly that his brake fluid was low. Now I get to look like a hero because I happened to have some brake fluid in my garage. So off I dashed and returned with brake fluid in hand to replenish what had obviously leaked out. We checked the brakes after the reservoir was full and found to pressure to be just fine and brakes working to our satisfaction. While I went through the routine of checking the fluids and replenishing the needed amounts, I made sure my son was watching me, and that he understood how to perform this task to the extent the need would ever arise again.
Sure enough; about three weeks later my son shared again that the brakes were not feeling right again. I asked if it was the same as before and he indicated that the pressure was still there but the pedal went about half way to the floor this time. Without giving it any thought, I asked if he remembered the training I gave him on how to check the fluids and replenish if need be. With confidence he said he did remember and could do the job. And he did.
Three weeks later I am at my son's football game and all was going well. In fact their team won 52 to 21. Unfortunately, during the game my son experienced a leg injury that took him out of the game just before the first half ended and left him missing the rest of the game. Because of that injury, I had to drive his car home. It was then that I discovered that the brake pedal was once again going all the way to the floor. The car did stop okay, but when you have to go to the floor to stop, is not at all a safe condition.
So I thought to myself. Why didn't I take a closer look at this sooner? Why didn't I more seriously evaluate this situation? Why didn't I consider taking my son's car to a shop to let someone with more experience assess the car? The warnings and signs were right in front of me so why didn't I simply stop and take time for a maintenance check.
The night of the football game was a night of many victories for me. Yes the team I pulled for won in a great fashion. And in spite of my son’s misfortune with an injury that had him sidelined for a portion of the game; I received a blessing from that injury. It was that injury that prompted me to have to drive my son’s car home. Had it not been for that injury, I’m not sure when I would have taken a closer look at the car or what might have happened because of my lack of focus.
So as I sit in the shop waiting on the word about my son’s car, the thought came to mind which inspired me to share with you. What are the areas in your life that may require you to take a closer look right now, instead of waiting until later or too late? What behaviors, ways practices or situations do you find yourself in the midst of that may need to be evaluated more seriously? What are the issues or matters in your life that you are trying to work out on your own that may need to be shared with an accountability partner, a pastor or someone that has experience assessing such situations? Why don’t you consider taking a moment? Maybe you should STOP and take time for a maintenance check.

Sport the Gray or paint them away!
That is the question for the day!
The gray hair appeal is sometimes referenced as the distinguished look. In fact, it has even been stated that sporting the gray is the look of the ages. I am very comfortable with that fact that with age my gray hair growth has been more than plentiful.
With that said; sometimes I want to change it up and get rid of the gray hair. On special occasions I pull out the hair color and get to painting all my gray hair away. All gone! That’s right! I look in the mirror and enjoy the look.
I will be enjoying and witnessing a most special occasion soon. My oldest daughter is getting married. Hmmm…let’s see. Do I sport the gray or paint them away? You tell me. What would you do?
