The Triangles delivered a masterclass in domination and discipline last night, crushing the Hunters 37-13 in this week three League Championship game—and they did it with chilling efficiency and ruthless precision. Dayton’s own Eric Helmick has crafted a squad that not only withstands pressure but thrives under the spotlight, leaving Albert Collier’s Hunters scrambling for answers and dignity.

Right out of the gate, the Triangles set the tone with a blistering 11-yard touchdown strike from quarterback Peter Hoyt to wide receiver Clifford Davis in the first quarter. Davis, showing agility that left the Hunters’ secondary grasping at shadows, danced into the end zone and put Dayton up 6-0 early. From then on, it was a clinic in controlled aggression.

The Hunters tried to respond, but Karl Nokes, their quarterback, was shackled by Triangles' defense. Although Nokes threw for a respectable 259 yards and a touchdown, his five interceptions were the marrow of the Hunters’ downfall. Two of those picks, including a critical one by Antonio Barnes deep in Hunters’ territory, swung momentum violently in the Triangles’ favor.

James Garcia, the Triangles’ powerhouse running back, was an unrelenting force all game, rushing for 83 yards and scoring twice on the ground, in addition to hauling in 19 receiving yards and two touchdowns. He ran with grit, breaking tackles and grinding down the clock while the defense completed the picture with six sacks and two interceptions of their own.

Special teams also played their part with Mike Copeland consistently flipping field position with booming punts, some exceeding 50 yards, suffocating any chance the Hunters had to build sustained drives. Meanwhile, Donald Preusser calmly sealed the deal with a 53-yard field goal—the kind of clutch kicking needed in championship situations.

The Hunters’ offense, despite showing flashes from receiver Darnell Jones (97 yards) and tight end David Cook (93 yards), simply couldn’t punch it in when it counted. Their red zone efforts were particularly anemic: zero touchdowns from zero trips inside the 20 speak volumes about offensive stagnation under pressure.

Defensively, the Triangles were the nightmare Albert Collier’s squad couldn’t shake. Jeffrey Chun’s two sacks punctuated a relentless pass rush that consistently harassed Nokes. Meanwhile, the Triangles limited the Hunters’ rushing game to a paltry 14 yards, smothering any attempt to diversify their attack.

The scoreboard tells the brutal story: the Triangles never trailed, consistently built on momentum, and delivered knockout blows in the second half with two more touchdowns by James Garcia, including a short-yardage rush that put the game out of reach. By the third quarter, the 22-3 lead was a statement no one could ignore.

With this resounding victory, Eric Helmick’s Triangles have not just won a game—they have stamped themselves as the undisputed rulers of this league stage. The Hunters came in hoping to intimidate the visiting squad, but instead, they were outclassed, outplayed, and left to pack their bags early.

This wasn’t just a win; it was a declaration: Dayton’s Triangles are here to dominate, and they’re doing it with savage style and clinical execution. No more second guessing, no more close calls—the Triangles mean business, and their sights are set firmly on the championship crown.
