“It’s important to establish just a smash-mouth game of football and it’s always nice when I can get some yards and touchdowns,” Wenger said.
Wenger and his offensive line established their dominance in the first half, and Xenia couldn’t catch up.
Beavercreek scored first behind a 13-play, 69-yard drive, culminating in a short touchdown run by Wenger.
