A week off certainly didn't seem to bother Marion Local.
The Flyers had a bye in Week 11 of Ohio's high school football playoffs in the first year of the 12-teams-per-region format. Back out there Friday night in Week 12, they made quick work of things.
The final score, with help of a second-half running clock, was 42-12.

Lehman was never going to score 50 against the Flyers.

Kamden Eifert scored the next touchdown from close range.
Then it was Cale Nagel from 47 yards out for a 22-0 lead at the end of the first quarter.
Eifert scored again for a 29-0 lead before a Gus Richard receiving TD got Lehman on the board.
Marion Local took a 35-6 lead to the half on a Ben Meier touchdown.
