The tone of the game was set on the first play.

Wheelersburg intercepted a pass on the first play of Friday’s game against Rock Hill and converted the turnover into a touchdown.

Things didn’t change as the Redmen turned the ball over three times in five plays anda total of five times in the first half as they lost to the Pirates 52-7 Friday.

“You can’t turn the ball over five times in the first half on the road, especially against a good team,” said Rock Hill coach Todd Knipp. “And give them credit. They capitalized on our mistakes.”

Wheelersburg (5-0) rushed for 365 yards and threw for another 165 for 510 total yards.

Rock Hill (0-5) ran for 112 yards and threw for 20 more.

“There were things we did well. Our pass protection was pretty good. We just didn’t execute,” said Knipp.

Brandon Hall intercepted the first-play pass at the Rock Hill 25 and the Pirates scored four plays later on a 1200yard run by Brandon Schankweiler.

Two fumbles in four plays led to a 1-yard Bryan White scoring run and a 30-yard keeper by Schankweiler.
