Sun, September 26, 2010 - Posted by Coach Johnson
A scoring flurry by both teams ended in a Milaca victory over Melrose 52-36. The Dutchmen took an early lead on a 41 yd pass play to go up 6-0 in the first quarter as the Wolves looked a little dazed by the passing game that Melrose brought to the field. The Wolves countered with a 23 yd pass from Kiel to Mitch Ruis and a Sam Johnson run to put the Wolves up 8-6. The scoring flurry continued as Melrose found another wide-open receiver on a 45 yd pass and a 2 pt conversion to take back the lead 14-8. Milaca's running game took over in the second quarter as Sam Johnson picked up 2 of his 4 touchdowns to push Milaca's lead to 22-14 only to see Melrose add another quick td before halftime to make the score 22-20 at the half.
After a 3 and out in the second half Milaca pushed across another score on a Brandon Kiel 1 yd run and a 2 pt conversion by Kiel making the score 30-20. It seemed as if Milaca had finally gotten the momentum they were looking for only to see Melrose score two quick touchdowns via their air attack. The Wolves were not finished though as Kiel found Cody Goor in the open for an 80 yd pass play that ended in a Milaca td. Sam Johnson added two more running touchdowns behind the offensive line of: Dylan Quaintance, Jordan Ahner at tackles, Travis Bertram, Joe Hemmerich, Adam Veurink and Brad Hipsag at guards and Dylan Moorlag at Center. Milaca amassed 431 yds total offense, 194 yds rushing and 237 yards in the air. It was the second week in a row that the offense was over 400 yards total offense.
