Thursday, coach John Snell's Nighthawks said enough was enough.
CCD played relentless defense and held last year's state champion Redskins to their second-lowest point total of the year in a 47-40 victory.
CCD never trailed in the game. It was just the second loss for Fort Loramie, who ends the season 24-2. Their last loss was against Liberty-Benton (Findlay) Feb. 5.
"This means a whole lot to us for sure," Snell said. "It was something that we really geared up for. Our seniors really stepped up and said, 'Hey, let's do this!' I think we just bought in along with them."
Snell's Nighthawks played several bigger schools throughout the season and within their own Miami Valley Conference where Division III Purcell Marian also is a game away from a state semifinal.
