WILLOW WOOD — Big plays paid big dividends for the Oak Hill Oaks.
The Oaks used big plays to blank the Symmes Valley Vikings 50-0 on Friday in a Southern Ohio Conference game.
Oak Hill (2-2, 1-0) scored five touchdowns from double-digit yardage en route to the win.
“Our kids showed some fight. I’m not into moral victories. We gave up too many big plays,” said Vikings’ coach Rusty Webb.
Oak Hill took a 22-0 lead in the first quarter on a 32-yard run by Zach Fisher, a 27-yard scampter by Walker Smith and a 65-yard Caleb Johnson pass to Fisher.
The Oaks went up 44-0 at the half with 22 more points.
Johnson had a 4-yard scoring run early in the quarter and then threw a 71-yard scoring strike to Wes Mullett.
Johnson capped the first half scoring with a quarterback draw for 23 yards.
Oak Hill’s final score was a 1-yard run by Tyler Rice with 1:08 left in the game.
Symmes Valley (1-3, 0-1) generated just 104 total yards with 100 coming on the ground. Levi Cade ran five times for 43 yards.
The Vikings play at Green next Friday.
