Ryder Ryan rushed for 150 yards on just 16 carries and three touchdowns and Max Pinter completed 15 of 22 passes for 221 yards and two scores as the Archbold Blue Streaks blew past the Seneca East Tigers 44-12 in a second round OHSAA Division VI playoff game at Archbold High School on Friday night.  Archbold was coming off a bye week after finishing in fourth place in Region 22 and earning home filed advantage while Seneca East, out of the Northern 10 Athletic Conference, had defeated the Woodmore Wildcats 15-13 in the opening round to advance.

With just 1:53 off the clock, Ryan punched it into the end zone to give the Streaks a 7-0 lead after Quinn Sauder converted the extra point attempt.  Sauder would follow that kick up with a 32-yard field goal and Pinter hit Collin Short with a nine-yard touchdown pass, pushing the Archbold advantage to 17-0 after one quarter.  Another Ryan carry crossed the goal line, this time from 26-yards out, and the Sauder conversion put the Streaks on top 24-0 early in the second quarter.

After a long drive, Seneca East was able to get on the scoreboard when Tiger quarterback jammed it in from the one-yard line.  The extra point failed and Archbold lead 24-6.  The Streaks scored again before the half on a 21-yard touchdown catch by Aranjer Krieger from Pinter.  A missed extra point kick kept the score at 30-6 entering the second half.

Ryan scored his third touchdown of the game in the third quarter, to send the Blue Streak past the 30-point mark at 37-6, triggering the OHSAA mandated running clock.  The Tigers managed to score again in the fourth quarter to stop the running clock, but Ashton Stuckey ran in from a yard out and the running clock was reimplemented until the game was over.

The victory places Archbold’s season record at 9-2.  The Streaks will now travel to Bascom, Ohio, home of the Hopewell-Louden Chieftains (10-1) next Friday night for round three of the playoffs.  The Chieftains defeated the Western Reserve Roughriders 42-6 last Friday to move on.
