West Lyon blasts Lawton Bronson

Very cold, windy night. Lawton came in with a reputation of being a hard nosed defense, but Big Blue blew through that. West Lyon scored on every 1st half drive led by Cody and Cody. Cody Ahrendt ran 17 times for 100 yards and Cody Grotewold ran 9 times for 100 yards and 3 TD's. Cody also was 4-6 passing for 47 yards and 2 TD's. That was a great performance. Adam T had 3 catches for 28 yards and a TD and Beau H had one catch for 19 and a TD. The starting O had to have about 300 yards in just the first half. We finished with 377 for the game. Tyler Van Middendorp had 8 rushes for 49 yards and a TD in the 3rd quarter when West Lyon got up 41-0. Lawton scored on the JV/9th grade with about 8 minutes left in the 4th and a couple fumbles got them two more TD's late for a final score of 41-20. No one likes giving up points, but it is good to see the young guys get in and gain some experience. The starting defense was stout. Jason Van Ginkel led the way with 7 tackles, Kyle Heyer 6, and Nick Thompson turned in another strong game with 5 tackles. Overall it was just a great game turned in by the boys.
Now we have Hinton tonight, at Hinton. We have had some real close games down there over the years. Who can forget Jamie Rozeboom getting the win on the last play of the game a 4-5 years back? Or the playoff game there 2-3 years ago when they hit a trick play and kick return to lead for awhile in the 2nd half. They are a good program that plays us well. If we play well, we will be tough to take down. Hope everyone can make it down there. GO BIG BLUE!!
