Conestoga’s Tim Miller hopped into Martin Dorsey’s white SUV a few hours before the kickoff of a 21-14 win over visiting Ridley on Friday night.
The two Conestoga offensive players drove together, as they do practically everywhere, for the 10-minute trip to the school’s stadium. They told each other to be patient. Let Ridley stack the defensive line, Dorsey said, and the passing game will develop. No one will be able to call it a fluke, Miller said, when they beat Ridley for the second straight year.
It was the night’s first connection for Conestoga’s offensive stars. And it was their rapport that made the difference in the Central League opener. Miller, the quarterback, hit Dorsey, his No. 1 wide receiver, for three touchdown passes.
“We love football,” Miller said. “There’s nothing like a Friday night under the lights against Ridley. We’ve been talking about it all week.”
Dorsey scored two touchdowns in the third quarter, and the Pioneers wasted little time in erasing a seven-point halftime deficit. The senior picked up a great block near the 20-yard line and sprinted the rest of the way for a 49-yard catch-and-run. Dorsey pumped his fist as he ran through the end zone before turning to find his quarterback.
Dorsey finished with 121 yards on six catches. Miller passed for 160 yards.
