In the second quarter, the Cusick team racked up 26 points to establish the margin of victory. A safety, a 56-yard run and a 49-yard run both with successful two-point conversions(Sample run), followed by an 18-yard pass play with two-point conversion, gave Cusick a shutout in the first half.
In the second half, the Titans struck first, with Markus Smith scoring on a 42-yard pass play from back up quarterback Sam Schafer, who then ran the ball in for the two extra points.
Cusick came back with a 17-yard pass play but its conversion attempt failed.
OH managed another score in the fourth quarter as Jake Tanke completed a 31-yard pass play from Schafer. The pass attempt for two more failed.
Cusick also scored once more in the fourth on a pass play, followed by two points on the ground.
Head Titan coach Bruce Todd added the following commentary: Odessa-Harrington played hard and fought to the end but just couldn't match the speed and quickness of the Panther quarterback and running backs. The Titans played the Panthers fairly tough in the 1st, 3rd and 4th quarters, but fell short in the 2nd quarter allowing the Panthers to score 3 unanswered TDs.
The Titans lost all-league quarterback and middle linebacker Jared King on the second offensive series with a knee injury. He will be out for the season with a torn ACL. The Titans also lost running back and all-league defensive back Markus Smith with a concussion, but he will likely be back in a couple of weeks.
