  "account": "Several high school football games were rescheduled today after being postponed due to inclement weather. The games included matches between Xenia and Beavercreek, Fairborn and Tecumseh, Oakwood and West Carrollton, Springfield and Winton Woods, as well as Southeastern Local and Northwestern.\n\nThe Beavers were leading the Buccaneers, 14-7, at halftime on Friday. However, lightning forced the game to be postponed and rescheduled for Saturday morning. Xenia came out on top with a 16-14 victory, but Beavercreek pulled off a narrow win, 17-16, in the 25th annual Backyard Brawl at Frank Zink Field thanks to a 20-yard field goal by freshman Jackson Dahl with only six seconds remaining.\n\nTecumseh hosted Fairborn, who emerged victorious with a convincing 31-7 win. Oakwood also defeated West Carrollton, 43-6, at West Carrollton High School. Springfield High School emerged victorious over Winton Woods, 14-13, in overtime. Notably, this is the second straight season that Springfield has beaten Winton Woods. Northwestern took on Southeastern Local on Saturday night.",
