West Lyon sputters, blows by Western Christian

Great night for football, nice crowd, bad, bad West Lyon football first half. I don't know what else to say. I believe we had 4 turnovers first half, 2 int, 2 fumble. Big Blue looked lost and confused on offense, kind of slow on defense. I doubt we had 30 yards of O in the first half. Western scored all ten of it's points in the first half including a field goal right before half. Everyone around me just pointed out how many sophomores were starting and who is out for the year etc. And the second half started. WOW!! Big Blue just pounded down the field, TD, defense stuffs Western, pound it down the field, TD, defense with a pick, pound it down the field, TD, another pick, throw it to Adam, TD. We win 28-10. It became such a whooping Brandon Snyder fumbled the snap on 3rd and goal from the 8 and still ran it in for the 3rd TD. I left shaking my head in amazement. I wish I had heard that halftime speech! We had over 200 yards rushing the second half and over 50 passing, just amazing. We had 6 sophomores start and they are just going to get better and better. Adam T is an all time stud, Skylar Halma has really shown up this year and Kaleb Heyer shows potential to be great. Brandon Snyder is growing into the job at QB and the O line is improving. Kyle Groeneweg really looked good the second half. Western is a decent team but kind of soft, they seemed to lay down once we ahead 14-10.

Didn't see the game last year so this will be a new experience for me. I do know they are 1-2. GO BIG BLUE!!
