Ohio Wesleyan 48, Kenyon 7

Senior quarterback Kaden Buza (Winchester, Va./Millbrook) tossed 3 touchdown passes to help Ohio Wesleyan build a 35-0 halftime lead, and the Bishops went on to a North Coast Athletic Conference win over Kenyon on Saturday at Selby Stadium.

After forcing a 3-and-out on the opening possession of the game, the Bishops took over on the Kenyon 35-yard line thanks to a 24-yard punt return from senior wide receiver Jakii Alston (Pickerington/Central).  Buza found sophomore wide receiver Josh Hurst (Port Clinton) for 12 yards and sophomore wide receiver Tyler Webb (Port Clinton) for 2 more before sophomore running back Devon Haley (Granville) rumbled for 21 yards and a score.  Freshman kicker Sean Putt (Mansfield/Senior) had his point-after try blocked, and the score remained 6-0.

Buza marched the Bishops downfield on their second possession, connecting on all 6 passes he threw, including plays of 17 yards to Hurst and 20 yards to Webb before a 13-yard scoring strike to Hurst and a 13-0 lead.

Early in the second quarter, Alston broke free on another punt return, this time taking the ball 28 yards to the Kenyon 30.  From there, it took the Bishops 4 plays to find paydirt, with Alston making the catch on a 6-yard scoring play.  Putt's kick increased the margin to 20-0.

A 36-yard connection to senior wide receiver Chase Boyd (Jacksonville, Fla./Fernandina Beach) capped a 4-play, 53-yard drive midway through the second period, and on the point-after try, senior cornerback Tyler Neal (Massillon/Canton Central Catholic) picked up a low snap and ran right for a 2-point conversion.

Late in the half, Buza hit Hurst on consecutive plays for gains of 10 and 17 yards before finding Webb on a 23-yard connection that set up a 5-yard scoring run by senior running back Marquis Henry (Dayton/Chaminade Julienne).

Senior quarterback Austin Womack (Hurricane, W.Va.) tossed a 76-yard touchdown pass to Webb late in the third quarter, and freshman running back Tim Davis (Brookville) took off on a 42-yard scoring run, with Putt's kick stretching the Bishop lead to 48-0.

Kenyon's Jordan Benjamin went over from 8 yards out to finish off a 75-yard, 11-play drive later in the fourth quarter.

Buza completed 18 of 26 throws for 242 yards and 3 scores, and Womack completed 9 of 12 passes for 123 yards and a touchdown.  Hurst had 9 receptions for 92 yards, and Webb made 6 catches for 140 yards.  Haley led the Bishops with 66 yards on 11 rushes.

Junior free safety Drew Thornton (Powell/Olentangy Liberty) and senior defensive end Marquel Henry (Dayton/Chaminade Julienne) each had 7 stops for the Bishops, with Henry adding 2½ tackles for loss and 1½ sacks and Thornton adding half a tackle for loss.
