Tipp's Jackson Davis has 2 TDs, Dayton falls to Cincinnati 20-14 in 3rd annual MVFCA-SWOFCA All-Star Game
CINCINNATI, Ohio (WDTN) – Tippecanoe's Jackson Davis hauled in 2 touchdowns in Dayton's 20-14 loss to Cincinnati during the third annual MVFCA-SWOFCA high school senior All-Star Game at Roger Bacon on Friday night.
'I'm super excited to be here with some great coaches and a bunch of great players from the Dayton area, just competing and going after. It's a great time. I have great teammates, so it just feels great to cap off my high school career with this game,' said Davis.
The Queen City all-stars took an early 12-0 lead, but the Gem City answered right back.
Greeneview quarterback Alex Horney hit the Red Devils' star wide receiver, Davis, on a slant across the middle for Dayton's first score of the game.
After a crucial interception by Carlisle's Blake Lawson, Xenia quarterback Gavin McManus marched the Miami Valley down to the redzone and finished the drive with another passing strike to Davis for his second TD to put MVFCA ahead 14-12.
But in the final moments of the second quarter, a costly pass interference penalty on the Gem City gives the Queen City a free untimed down and they capitalize with the go-ahead touchdown to take a 20-14 lead.
After halftime, officials would call the game due to thunderstorms in the area, giving Cincinnati its second straight win over Dayton in this renewed rivalry to lead the series 2-1.
The 2026 MVFCA-SWOFCA will return to the Dayton-area with the next host site TBD.
