The ride continues
GRANVILLE — If this is a dream season, then the Salem Quakers don’t want to wake up. The only thing sweeter then playing in your first playoff game is winning your first playoff game. Although it took a last second field goal and overtime, Salem made the most of their first trip to the playoffs, defeating Granville 38-31 in an instant classic. “These guys never sease to amaze me,” Salem coach Mike Kopachy said. “They’re making history with every step they take. I’m so proud of them.” The legs of Ben Eisel are usually important for Salem when it comes to long pass plays or punt returns. Tonight they proved to have another value. With the season on the line, Salem was down three and took over at their own 11 yard line with only 1:31 left. Calmly, Trent Toothman marched the team to the Granville 16-yard line, connecting several times with Zach Penick. After three unsuccessful tries for the end zone, Eisel lined up for a 34-yard field goal with 1.2 seconds on the clock.
