Green helps Dexter trip Orono in OT for 1st win

DEXTER – Billy Green’s one-yard touchdown plunge up the middle on fourth down in overtime gave the Dexter Tigers their first high school football win of the season, 6-0, over the Orono Red Riots Saturday.

Offense was hard to come by in this game as the Tigers barely edged the Red Riots in total offense – 136 total yards to 134. Green accounted for 51 of those yards with 28 carries.

The key defensive play occurred when Dexter’s front line stopped Joey Fullwood 11/2 yards short of a touchdown on fourth down in overtime on a toss sweep play to the left. Linebacker Brad Chase led the Tigers with 13 tackles. Blake Woodruff had nine.

Joey Fullwood led all ballcarriers with 103 yards on 26 carries for the Riots.
