West Lyon pounds Praire Valley (Gowrie)
Well folks, West Lyon is back at the dome and this year's football team certainly knew what to do and pounded Praire Valley 35-14. The score was 28-0 at half as the offense blew through PV. Siglbey had 160 yards in the first half, Dorneweerd had a TD pass to Hassebroek and O line was just pounding the front 8 for PV. The defense completely shut down the 2100 yard back from PV (32 yards first half, 96 whole game) and did a solid job in the first half against the pass. After half PV played better, stopping WL on their first two drives, and scored with about 4 minutes in the 3rd. They really went to the pass and other than a couple of nice trap plays, they moved by throwing it. They scored again with about 9 minutes left in the game, but then West Lyon put all their starters back in on offense and boom 35-14 again. Also had the ball at the end of the game inside the ten, but kneeled. 500+ yards of total offense. Sigleby had 220 yards and Koedam had over 100 yards. Dorneweerd had over 70 yards passing. Really an impressive show. Everyone seems healthy enough as we have Emmetsburg next. Watched them play. Good o and d lines. Close to being as good as ours. Their linebackers are big and flow well and their secondary tackles well. On O they have 3 good to great lineman, 2 that are average, at best. The backs, however, make the line look even better by running hard and tough. The backs are very impressive, including the QB. The two teams are very similiar in size and philosophy. Eburg is not going to outcoach WL and I doubt WL will outcoach them. Should be a close game and I highly doubt either team will win be more than 14. GO WILDCATS!!! It's great being in the dome again.
