by The Aurora Greenmen spoiled the Twinsburg Tiger’s first home game of the season with a dominating score of 42 – 6.

The Tigers gained possession, but a costly fumble by quarterback Joey Pollock was a huge momentum shift within the game. Aurora went on to score again in the first half with a rushing touchdown by Lucas Manderbach which extended the lead 14-0.
Aurora regained possession and quarterback Ryan Dwyer was able to find Alex Brooker for the first receiving touchdown of the game. The Tigers looked to respond with their next drive when Joey Pollock went deep to JD Okuma downfield to the one yard line. Twisburg wasn’t able to capitalize on the drive as they went four and out with a penalty and sack. Twinsburg’s JD Okuma had another big play on defense with an interception before halftime.
Twinsburg turned over on downs with their first drive in the second half. Aurora converted that turnover into points with Cole Walton’s second rushing touchdown of the game.
