COUDERSPORT — The Warren Dawgs traveled to Coudersport on Saturday on a short week to play an undefeated Falcons team with the first seed in the playoffs on the line.

In a game defined by tight defense, the Dawgs lost a heartbreaker 2-0 to the Falcons.

The Dawgs defense kept the Falcons in check all game, preventing the Falcons from getting anything going offensively. The Dawgs outgained the Falcons 228 to 92 yards offensively, but untimely penalties and miscues led to missed opportunities on multiple red-zone trips.

Midway through the second quarter, the Falcons offense led their longest drive of the day. However, the Dawgs defense throttled down, and Bentlee Moore came up with an interception in the end zone and was tackled at the Dawgs’ 1-yard line. Two plays later, a shotgun snap sailed over the quarterback’s head and led to a safety.

The Dawgs offense was led by Tanner Stuart’s 10 yards passing and 97 yards rushing/receiving. Blake Peterson added 54 yards while Grant May posted 41 yards for the day. Collin Havers had 18 yards rushing, Connor Smith had 25 yards passing with 5 yards rushing, and Bentlee Moore added a 10-yard reception. Nate Harris rounded out the offensive attack with 3 yards rushing/receiving.

The Dawgs defense was led by Owen Damcott with 12 tackles and Stuart with 11 tackles and a sack. Peterson tallied seven tackles and a sack for the Dawgs, while Havers, Chase Raub and Jeremiah Lyon each added four tackles. Wesley Stevens Jr. and Moore each had three tackles. May, Brody Connolly, Clayton Hammerbeck and Liam Frederoski each had two tackles while Harris added one tackle.

Despite the loss, the Dawgs secured the second seed in the playoffs with their only losses on the season coming by a combined 8 points. The Dawgs finished the regular season with a 5-2 record, scoring 84 points on the season while only allowing 32 points.

The Dawgs will host the Smethport Lil Hubs on Saturday at 1 p.m. on Wolverine Mountain in Sheffield. The winner will play the winner of the Bradford Raptors and Coudersport Falcons for the league championship on Oct. 15.
