CARROLL, Ohio (WOUB) — The rain came down Friday night as the Bloom-Carroll Bulldogs (10-0) hosted the Warren Warriors (3-6) in round one of the OHSAA playoffs. The Bulldogs are the top seeded team in Division IV, Region 15.

Early in the game, Bloom-Carroll established their run game. Chase Plantz busted through the Warren defensive line for a 46-yard game. The Warriors would hold until fourth down when Chase Plantz rushed it in giving the Bulldogs the early 7-0 lead.

Bloom-Carroll would re-take possession after a short punt by Warren. Quarterback K.J. Benedict dropped back and found WR Branyon Dodds for the 10-yard touchdown. Bloom-Carroll would take a 14-0 lead and never look back. The Bulldogs finished the first half up 49-0, and would go on to win by that same score.

Benedict accounted for 136 all purpose yards and two touchdowns. Chase Plantz controlled the ground game, racking up 124 rushing yards and 2 touchdowns.

Warren was unable to move the ball against the stingy Bulldog defense. Bloom-Carroll only allowed 20 yards of total offense in the first half. They also forced two interceptions, one of which was a pick-six.

Bloom Carroll would do all of its scoring in the first half, and win by a final score of 49-0. They will host Highland next Friday in a rematch from week one — Bloom-Carroll won that game 49-17.
