Notable: Miller 2 TD throws to Seth Stuart and Marshall Peterson; and has run for another. That unbeaten SE team that the entire state was raving about and gave Wayne essentially no chance? Welcome to some GWOC ball, Eagles.

FIRST-HALF NOTES:
• Three big killer penalties by Wayne; Encroachment on Teven Williams and face mask on on Sean Miliner. Both were on SE’s opening drive and both were on fourth downs that sustained the drive.
• SE turned those two breaks into a 14-play, 59-yard 8:32 opening scoring drive to lead 7-0.
• Wayne had 4:48 left in the half and appeared to be in great shape to score when Miller zig-zagged 49 yards to inside the SE 10. Whoops, holding Wayne. Ball back to Wayne 31 and end of half.
• Not many fireworks; just long, sustained fundamental drives. Miller has impressed with hard throws and cutback/miss ability.
• Had Wayne not had those two opening drive sustaining penalties… had Wayne not held on Miller’s long run …
• Miller 5-8-0, 53 yards; 5 rushes, 33 yds, TD; Taylor 10-44; Stuart 3-36 receiving. Wayne 24-132 offense; SE 27-85. No turnovers, no huge plays … except for the Wayne turnovers.
• Don’t want to risk sounding like a Warriors homer, but Wayne should be up, maybe by a couple scores.
SECOND QUARTER

CANTON - It’s 30 minutes before Wayne begins its final quest of fulfilling a dream and becoming the first area team to win a Division I state football championship.
It’s Wayne (11-3) vs. Lakewood St. Edward (14-0) for everything at Fawcett Stadium. Weather is good, snow is slight with no accumulation and the stadium is filling up. Let’s get it on.
• If you don’t know better, it looks like the Warriors are up against the Green Bay Packers. St. Ed’s color scheme and look is a perfect replica of the NFL team.
• I’ll give Wayne QB Braxton Miller this, the guy can flat-out throw a 35-yard dart. Doesn’t sound impressive? Try it. Looks sharp as ever in warm-ups. He’s a receiver’s dream. If you have any ability to catch the ball, this is your guy.
• The home (St. Ed) side is packed, as it always is for these games. The visitor’s (Wayne) side is nearly half full and should fill up by about 7:30 p.m.

CANTON / MASSILLON - From the Odds & Ends Zone at the 39th annual state football finals.
STUCK ON ONE: Most of you who are reading this have likely tapped into a remote internet access server some place. Often, that includes a password.
The password to join the free service at Canton’s Fawcett Stadium is 26 one’s. That’s hitting the No. 1 button 26 times.
I guess 27 one’s already was taken.
IT’S A NUMBERS GAME: A lot of area schools like Beavercreek and Fairborn still are looking for their long-awaited debut playoff games. At the other extreme is Coldwater and Youngstown Ursuline.
The Cavs and Irish have combined for a staggering 75 career playoff WINS. That’s hard to beat.
Ursuline won its third straight D-V title Saturday, clubbing Coldwater 51-21 after leading 44-7 at halftime.
FAVORITES: After two straight title-game losses to Ursuline, Coldwater coach Chip Otten admitted the best prospect for Coldwater is that the Irish are realigned to D-IV this spring. The Cavs are certain to be locked in D-V.
“If they stay D-V they’ll be the odds-on favorite every year,” Otten said.
“If we make the finals on the left side of the state, hopefully, we’ll get to play them again, because that means that we’re still playing.”
WELL DONE: Ursuline coach Dan Reardon saluted Coldwater after losing veteran coach John Reed to cancer last spring.
“To come back after losing their coach and seamlessly get back to the championship game is a great accomplishment,” he said.
GET A KICK OUT OF THAT: The best quip so far was a line about Maple Heights’ kicking game.
The Mustangs flared one extra-point kick almost into a nearby parking lot and had two other kicks blocked before abandoning that route on its final three TDs of a 45-33 D-II title win over Trotwood-Madison on Friday at Massillon.
Maple Heights seemed to be stuck inside the Rams’ five when someone remarked, “Well, they’re out of field goal range.”
The Mustangs scored the next play.

TweetTrotwood-Madison state final rewind
MASSILLON - Just the facts & stats following Maple Heights’ 45-33 defeat of Trotwood-Madison in the D-II high school football championship at Paul Brown Tiger Stadium on Friday night.
• Of the six finals, this was the only one that featured two public schools going at it. Lakewood St. Edward (D-I), Columbus Bishop Watterson (D-III), Columbus Bishop Hartley (D-IV), Youngstown Ursuline (D-V) and Delphos St. John’s (D-VI) advanced in the other finals.
• MH super QB Shaq Washington has committed to UC. He’s a pint-sized version of Bearcats RB Isaiah Pead, and Pead is considered small.
• Washington on last year’s 42-12 loss to Winton Woods in the D-II state final: “Winton Woods prepared us for this team. I made the coaching staff watch that game. I said it’s not going to happen again and it didn’t.”
• Antwan Gilbert on how momentum changed after T-M led 27-6 just 17 seconds into the second quarter: “I really don’t know. I don’t know. … First quarter we played our hearts out and got the good lead. Then we slipped up, thinking that we already had the win I guess. They’re good athletes. I give it up to them.”
• QB Marcus Graham on what happened: “We just executed and we were relaxed. We didn’t let up, we just started rushing. … It’s hard to tell our offensive coordinator what to call on 3rd-and-16. … We had the momentum and we just should have kept going. Things happened and it just snowballed.”
• More Graham: “That hurt. We’ve been at this since January, working out at 6 in the morning Mondays and Wednesdays and practice after school. We worked so hard and to see us lose like that, man. That hurt, man. That hurt everybody. You could tell. That’s all we’ve talked about all year. Just going through adversity. It’s hard to explain. You’ve got to be in my shoes to know what I feel like.”
• The Rams spent Thursday night at nearby Alliance and returned home Saturday morning. Initially, they were planning to stay and watch Wayne. Not now.
• The announced crowd was 3,987, which has to be one of the lowest in state final history. Image that crowd at OSU’s Ohio Stadium. That’s exactly what will happen when the state finals move to Columbus in 2014.

TweetFormer Rams coach John Butler travels from Florida to see game
By Marc Pendleton and Kyle Nagel
MASSILLON — His beloved Trotwood-Madison High School football program didn’t win Friday’s Division II state championship, but former Rams coach John Butler liked what he saw.
“They played a pretty good game,” said the Sarasota, Fla., resident.
“They just didn’t have quite enough to win it.”
Maple Heights defeated T-M 45-33 at Paul Brown Tiger Stadium to complete an unbeaten season.
Butler coached the Rams — including current head coach Maurice Douglass — to the 1981 D-II state title game, which Cleveland Benedictine won.
“Oh, this is better than my team,” Butler said. “I just love all the kids.
“I’m really proud of Moe. He does a lot for these young men. I’m appreciative and proud of him. I’m glad I came, but I’m ready to get back to warm weather.”
MISSING PIECE: Trotwood played the second half without receiver Renon Lorenzo, who suffered a high ankle sprain in the first half and was unable to return after catching two passes for 35 yards and a touchdown in the first half. Trotwood coach Maurice Douglass said the loss was big for the Rams’ consistency.
“For our offense, he does a lot of things,” Douglass said. “When we lost that other piece of the puzzle, that meant the young guys had to come in and play. Sometimes when the young guys get in the game … they’re in practice and they try hard, but they’re not always focused, and sometimes they don’t go as hard as they can go.
“That was a major part for us offensively.”
NICE GRAB: Even when A.J. Jordan was interfered with, the Trotwood receiver could still make a catch.
The senior headed to Wisconsin had just that happen with about 8 minutes left in the second quarter on Friday, when a Maple Heights defender came down on his arms on a long pass play to the left side. Jordan, a 6-2, 170-pounder, still caught the pass under the defender for a 31-yard gain on his way to three catches for 59 yards and a touchdown.
COMING BACK: Maple Heights was very familiar with the feelings Trotwood had after Friday’s game.
The Mustangs lost last season’s title game against Winton Woods to finish 12-3. In response, they went undefeated and made good on their second straight title game appearance.
“We’ve had people say our schedule was weak and we couldn’t compete with these kinds of teams,” said second-year Maple Heights coach Todd Filtz. “But we did.”
It was Maple Heights’ eight playoff appearance, including seventh since 2002.
STATS: Trotwood QB Marcus Graham surpassed 100 yards in each of the five playoff games, including 145 yards and two touchdowns on Friday. … Maple Heights averaged 34.2 yards on six kickoff returns, which was one of its strengths. … Maple Heights outgained Trotwood 246-128 in the second half and 137-26 in the fourth quarter.
ETC: The only turnover in meaningful time (Trotwood threw a late interception on a desperation pass) came on Maple Heights’ first play, when Mustangs QB Shaq Washington was unable to handle a shotgun snap. Trotwood took advantage with a 29-yard scoring drive to increase its lead to 13-0 with 7:41 left in the first quarter.

TweetTrotwood can’t contain Maple Heights’ Shaq attack
MASSILLON — Much too often, Trotwood-Madison defenders whiffed on the smallest player on the field.
No matter how obvious what was coming, the Rams had no answers for Maple Heights’ slick quarterback Shaq Washington.
“We stopped him for a minute in the first half, but you’ve got to contain him or he will get loose,” said Rams linebacker Stacy Wheat.
The Rams had a grasp on the Division II state football championship Friday night at Paul Brown Tiger Stadium, then Washington yanked it away.
Trailing 26-7 just seconds into the second quarter, the 5-foot-9, 170-pound senior accounted for seven hard-earned touchdowns as Maple Heights completed an unbeaten season and blitzed the Rams in the second half, 45-33.
The Mustangs finished 15-0 and successfully completed what they vowed to finish after losing to Winton Woods in last year’s D-II state title game.
Trotwood finishes 12-3 and joins the 1981 Rams as the program’s other state runner-up. The crowd was 3,987.
“We got opportunities and you’ve got to make certain that you seize the moment and we didn’t do that,” said Rams coach Maurice Douglass.
Maple Heights went on a game-ending 38-7 run over the final three quarters. Washington ran for all four of Heights’ second-half touchdowns and added three touchdown passes.
At one point he had 15 straight carries, but the Rams were defenseless.
“It was depressing at first but we knew not to stop fighting,” said Washington.
The Rams received another set of monster efforts from seniors Antwan Gilbert and Marcus Graham. Gilbert rushed for 184 yards and returned a punt 45 yards for the score that seemingly put T-M out of reach so early.
“We had the momentum and we just should have kept going,” said Rams QB Graham, who ran for two short touchdowns and was 9 of 16 passing for 145 yards with TD tosses to Renon Lorenzo (32 yards) and A.J. Jordan (17).
“Things happened and it just snowballed.”
Washington started Maple Heights’ rally with scoring strikes of 11 and 80 yards to Andre Stubbs to pull the Mustangs within 26-19 at halftime. They finally took the lead early in the fourth quarter and wrapped it up with a game-ending 12-play, 79-yard scoring drive when Trotwood had to get the ball back. Not a chance.
“The defense came out in the second half and we had to have a stop, but we couldn’t do it,” said Rams strong safety “Bam” Bradley.
“We gave up 45 points. We haven’t given up 45 points all year, not even to the team that’s going to play in the Division I state championship.”
That would be Wayne, which plays Lakewood St. Edward in today’s D-I title game at Canton.
