Behind an outstanding performance from senior QB Mitch Buhler, the Dawgs turned two drives into scores including Buhler s 53-yard bomb to junior WR Matt Taylor to put Rossville up 27-14 midway through the third. St. Marys fought back with score from the hands of Mitch Baumchen who took part in all three Bear touchdown plays. It would be the last time St. Marys found the endzone as the Dawg defense held serve long enough to secure the season-opening victory. Buhler finished with 295 yards on 19-of-29 passing. He threw for two TDs and ran for another while throwing one pick. Rossville found themselves in an early deficit after Baumchen broke a long run and tossed a long pass to lead 14-7 after the first. The Dawgs slowly seized control with Taylor, who hauled in four catches for 78 yards plus the score, and two key touchdowns from Sam Ressor (catch) and Nick Satterwhite (rush). Rossville defeated the Bears for the first time since 2003 and first in St. Marys since the 2002 playoffs.
