Here are the recaps from the third round of the OHSAA football playoffs.
Olentangy Liberty 14, Perrysburg 3The senior came up with an interception in the end zone during the first quarter, and his 25-yard touchdown catch on fourth down in the fourth quarter helped seal the victory for the eighth-seeded Patriots over fourth-seeded Perrysburg in a Division I, Region 2 semifinal Nov. 11 at Fostoria.
“Playoffs, not playoffs — I’m just happy to win. We believe in each other. To be the best, you’ve got to beat the best. And we’ve played some great teams.” Perrysburg, which finished 11-2, had the chance to take an early lead with the ball at Liberty’s 5-yard line. But left-handed quarterback T.J. Takats scrambled to his right and his pass was picked off in the end zone by Okuley, who got both feet down inbounds.
Okuley caught a 25-yard post from Leonard on fourth-and-5 with 2:27 remaining to put the game out of reach.
