DW drops non-league game to Liberty Christian 38-16

#54 Theo Anderson scored the first points for the Dayton-Waitsburg defense this year with his blocked punt for a safety to close out the scoring giving DW the lead at 8-6 in the 1st quarter. Unfortunately, Liberty Christian would take control in the 2nd quarter scoring eighteen unanswered points giving them a 24-8 lead at halftime that they would not relinquish.

Head coach Troy Larsen had this to say, "we lost 16-38 in a non-conference game to Liberty Christian. The game started out good with both teams trading touchdowns. On our second drive I lost my center and middle linebacker Seamus House to a non-contact knee injury. We had to replace him with a freshman center Junior Magill who fought hard but had some freshman mistakes. We did have sophomore Theo Anderson step up on the D-Line and lead the team with 12 tackles, and freshman running back Hudson Reser came into the game in the second half and had 17 carries and 78 yards to spark the offense.”
