Ten days after Millersburg’s Josh Howard dropped a handful of touchdowns on Big Spring, Dan Soloman threw five of his own and piled up 292 yards to lead Octorara Area to a 40-28 victory over Big Spring in its home-opener Monday night.
Ten days after Millersburg’s Josh Howard dropped a handful of touchdowns on Big Spring, Dan Soloman threw five of his own and piled up 292 yards to lead Octorara Area to a 40-28 victory over Big Spring in its home-opener Monday night.
All five of Soloman’s scoring strikes came in the second half. Soloman’s first two went to Charles Cooper, who also returned a kickoff 90 yards for a touchdown in the first quarter, from 46 and 50 yards out. Mitch King pulled in an 11-yard touchdown before Soloman hooked up with Anthony Dinorscia for his last two 6-pointers in the fourth quarter.
William Wiser rushed 39 times for 190 yards and three touchdowns to lead the Bulldogs’ offense, which racked up 289 total yards on the ground to Octorara’s 62. Wiser rushed for 203 yards a week ago at Millersburg and now has 393 yards through two games on the ground.
However, the running game was not a high priority to Octorara’s game plan. The Braves ran only 13 times compared to 27 passing plays while Big Spring ran 65 times and passed on just six plays.
Jakes Bales also scored for the Bulldogs, securing a 14-7 advantage at halftime before Soloman found his rhythm through the air.
Wiser’s third touchdown, a 1-yard plunge, gave Big Spring a 28-26 advantage heading into the fourth quarter before Soloman’s pair of touchdowns to Dinorscia gave Octorara (2-0, 0-0 Ches-Mont American) the win.
Cooper finished with 127 yards on five catches to lead all Braves receivers. James Brown caught six passes for 97 yards.
The Braves travel to nearby Pequea Valley High School this Friday night at 7 p.m. for the 2nd annual “Battle Of The Braves” game.
