One lesson learned in last week’s lost could have been don’t let opponents have the ball, ever.
That’s what the Wolves did last Friday night at Royal Oak. They hold on tight to score 42 points and kept the Ravens down to zilch.
‘Everyone had fun and we needed that after last week,? said Wolves Head Football Coach Kurt Richardson. ‘It was one of those games everyone got to play.?
Quarterback Tyler Scarlett made the first touchdown for the game in the first quarter from the one-yard line. Luke Prudhomme scored the next touchdown after catching a 57-yard pass from Scarlett.
The boys finished off the first half of the game, 35-0. Dakota Bender, Matt Calvano and Scarlett added their own touchdowns to secure the lead. The last big play of the night would come from Prudhomme in the third quarter. He returned a punt 52 yards to score a touchdown.
Richardson also saw improvement from the defensive line, something he has been noticing needed a boost since the beginning of the season.
‘Defense started to tackle better,? he said.
Jon Avery was 6-6 in extra points.
The Wolves head to Oak Park (2-4) this Friday night and face off against running back Edwin Baker, third top player in the state. The game begins at 7 p.m. at Oak Park High School, 13701 Oak Park Boulevard.
‘It’s really a difficult game to predict,? said Richardson. ‘Their best player was out for the last game and don’t know when he will be back.?
