A week after Dalton lost its chance for an undefeated regular season, the Bulldogs ended Smithville's drive for perfection.

Jeremy Wenger kicked a 20-yard field goal with 37 seconds remaining to give Dalton a 22-20 victory Friday night, ending Smithville's 22-game winning streak in the regular season. The loss dropped the Smithies (7-1) from second to seventh in the Division V state rankings.

Dalton's shot at a perfect record ended a week earlier with a 44-0 loss to Apple Creek Waynedale.

The Dalton-Smithville rivalry is shaping up to be one of the state's best.

Smithville handed Dalton both its losses in 2002 - 21-19 in the regular season and 35-8 in the playoffs. The wins helped the Smithies reach the Division V state title game, where they lost 33-18 to Marion Pleasant.

Smithville lost to Dalton (7-1) this time because it couldn't stop the Bulldogs' running game in the closing moments.

Derek Jackson carried the ball 13 straight times for 52 yards on the final drive, setting up Wenger's game-winning kick on fourth-and-goal at the 3. It was the team's first field goal this season.
