Groveport Madison delivered a commanding performance in their first-round playoff matchup, overpowering Delaware Hayes with a final score of 48-7. The victory was driven by standout efforts from Lead The Way youth Keishaun Calhoun, Imar Dunlap, and Marshawn Johnson, who anchored a defense that limited their opponents to just one touchdown.

On the offensive side, Groveport made a strong statement by scoring 48 points. As the team celebrates this impressive win, they are gearing up to travel to Powell, OH, for a showdown against top-seeded Olentangy Liberty this Friday at 7 PM. With three consecutive wins under their belt, Groveport is hoping to maintain their momentum as they take on one of the best teams in the state of Ohio.
