MASSILLON — Up by seven with under a minute left in the second quarter and halftime looming, Smithville had the ball on offense right at the midway part of the field. By the look of things, one might ******* ume that Smithville should just take a knee and head into the half.
That was not their thinking.
Looking for an opportunity to strike, Smithville quarterback Brady Sidle dropped back and threw a deep ball down the right side that wide receiver Isaiah Lee went up and caught. Near the goal line Smithville stood. Three plays later, with a three-wide-receiver-set, Sidle rolled to his right out of the shotgun and found Brayden Beard for a touchdown.
That drive alone described just how much emphasize the Smithies are putting on their passing game this season as they came away with a 21-14 road win in Week 1 against Tuslaw.
