Really exciting game.

Congrats to The 2007 D3 Football State Champion Big Walnut Eagles.

Sorry, early morning mistake on the division.

I think its true that no team from Delaware county has ever won a state championship yet. This would be good for them then.

Correct, big day for Delaware County. Great to see Central Ohio representing, pretty good crowd turnout on both sides as well.

Tried out a 100-400 L lens, not a big fan. Also took primarily video postgame.

#4 Reed returns a pick 6 early in the game.

Big Walnut tacks on a FG to go up 10-0 right before halftime.

A botched snap by Big Walnut leads to a safety:

Another mishandled Big Walnut punt leads to a broken play, with Licking Valley taking over at the 25.

However, Licking Valley fumbles on the ensuing play, recovered by Big Walnut's #65.

After a 20 yard run, #31 is hit and fumbles to Johnny On The Spot (all day actually), #4 Reed, who scoops and scores.

#10 launches a jump ball, but only finds Big Walnut's #17. (Mr Ref stepped in front of the INT shot :p)
