FOOTBALL: Another monster game from sophomore Ethan Bauer as DWC ends season with victory over Newark/Marion.

LCAA’s FINEST
NEWARK – Ethan Bauer ran for a career-high 289 yards on 28 carries and two TDs, including a 94-yard touchdown run as visiting Dansville/Way-Co ended their season Thursday night with the 34-20 victory over Newark.
Bauer scored two TDs and also ran in a pair of two-point conversions.
Bauer, only a sophomore, also ran for nearly 200 yards and three TDs a week ago.
Dawson Stephens also had a big game with 178 yards on 10 carries and two TDs, including a 44-yard scoring run.
Brady Henchen added 24 yards and one touchdown.
On defense, Bauer led the way with six tackles, including two for a loss for 22 total yards.
Also for DWC on defense: Kam Lantz had four tackles, one sack, a forced fumble, and one interception while
Adriane Burr and Garrett Mehlenbacher both had three tackles, along with Stephens, who had three tackles and also picked off a pass.
Noah Williams (3 tackles, 1 sack) and Gavin Halbert (2 tackles, 1 fumble recovery) also got on the stat sheet.
“I couldn’t be more proud of how our team persevered and finished the season," head coach Chad Pieri said. “Our guys came out with energy, focus, and a determination to end their year—and for our seniors, their high school careers—on a high note. Beating a tough Newark team was a good way to wrap up the 2025 season. Offensively, we leaned on what we do best—running the football. Ethan Bauer has had back-to-back two of the most impressive performances I’ve seen in my time coaching, carrying the ball. Dawson Stephens gave us a huge spark as well, including a 44-yard score that showed his breakaway ability. Quarterback Brady Henchen ran hard, executing the offense and making smart decisions to cap his senior year off with a win. More than the stats, though, I’m proud of the heart and resilience this team showed. Our seniors—they’ve helped build a foundation for the younger guys to carry forward, and their legacy will be about toughness, teamwork, and pride in the DWC program.
Ending the season with a win like this is important for our program.. We’re going to miss our seniors, but I’m excited about what’s ahead for this program. The future is bright for DWC football.”
DWC finished its season 4-4.

Overall, we have a great bunch of young men who have bought in and all their hard work has begun to pay off. It’s an awesome feeling for our guys, families, coaches, both school districts and our communities. We’re enjoying the win, but now our focus is on week three and Lyons.”
