Wayne QB’s Miller, Harrison out with injuries; Wayne falls 26-0 to Canton McKinley
COLUMBUS - This isn’t good.
Wayne quarterback Braxton Miller was on the sidelines with a high ankle sprain in the Warriors’ matchup vs. Canton McKinley in the second of two games Sunday, Sept. 5 in the Kirk Herbstreit Kickoff Classic at OSU’s Ohio Stadium.
Worse, his sub, Javon Harrison, a 6-2, 190-pound sophomore, was knocked out of the game after dislocating his right (throwing) shoulder while trying to recover a first-quarter fumble.
Hello Dorian Hendrix. The 6-foot, 200-pound freshman QB took over the Warriors’ offense with 2:16 left in the first quarter and Wayne trailing 6-0. Wayne coaches speak highly of Hendrix as the Warriors’ QB of the future. Looks like now is that time.
Those losses were too much for Wayne to overcome and McKinley posted a convincing 26-0 victory.
McKinley scored late in the first half to go up 12-0 and pushed the advantage to 24-0 with 7:06 left in the game. The Warriors’ only scoring chance resulted in a blocked field goal as the first half expired.
Wayne is fortunate to be this close. The Bulldogs have pushed the Warriors all over the field, have started most of their drives in Wayne territory and stalled at least once inside the 5.
Wayne’s offense has been mostly non-existent except for its final half-ending drive. Senior Anthone Taylor bulled for Wayne’s first first down with 1:15 left in the half.
The game is being televised live on ESPNU.
Miller injured an ankle late in the fourth quarter of last week’s 35-28 setback to Cincinnati Moeller in the Skyline Chili Crosstown Showdown at St. Xavier H.S.
Before the injury he was sensational, dashing for first-half TD’s of 75, 31 and 27 yards and rushing for a career-high 212 yards.
Injures have marked as much of Miller’s career at TD passes. He’s missed all or parts of nine - and now 10 - games in four seasons with the Warriors.
Wayne (0-2) hosts Seneca (Ky.) from Louisville in its home opener on Friday, Sept. 10.
Sunday’s other Herbstreit game

Dwyer got the shaft in their game with Glenville. I have no idea what the officials were even on the field for in that game.
