  Another game, another victory. After two close losses early in the season, the Cowboys have bounced back strong, with 7 straight victories. With their 39 point win at Finneytown on Friday, the Wyoming Cowboys (8-2) finish off their season, and make their way into November headed for the playoffs. Another dominant offensive performance led the 'Boys to a 27-0 first quarter lead, which only went up through the night. 

  Will Marty opened up the game with his legs, scoring from ten yards out to go up 7-0.

Then, Terrell Dailey took it to the corner of the endzone on a 12 yard run later in teh quarter. After forcing a Wildcat turnover, the Cowboys struck fast, with a 51-yard TD pass to Dominic Vamosi on the first play. However, a failed snap and a tackle in the backfield on the extra point put the score at 20-0. Dailey scored again on the ground, this time from 10 yards out to put the score at 27-0 after one quarter. 

 In quarter 2, Marty scored again on the ground, on a 2 yard run  to put the score at 34-0. Soon after, backup QB Andrew Marty relieved his cousin and threw a 13 yard TD pass to Duke Brunke. This made the score 40-0 at half. 

 With no scoring in the 3rd quarter, the Cowboys defense got a score in the fourth when Justin Shields picked up a Wildcat fumble and returned it 23 yards. This was one of two fumbles by Finneytown, and 5 total turnovers. Parker Chalmers had a fumble recovery and INT on Friday, along with Ken Darlington and Elijah Kemper who both had interceptions. The Wildcats finally got on the board with a 76 yard TD run from Dante Goodwin. 

 The offense rolled through the Wildcat Defense, with 347 total yards and 202 through the air. Will Marty finished with 170 yards and 1 TD, and Andrew Marty finished with 32 yards and 1 TD. Dailey finished with 12 attempts for 78 yards and 2 TDs. The defense shined on Friday, forcing 5 turnovers and giving the offense more chances to score, as well as scoring themselves.

 In the final playoff projections, Wyoming comes in with the 8th seed, and will travel to Kettering Friday night to take on the one seeded Archbishop Alter Knights. Look for my preview of the playoff game later this week.
