Wolverines Run Record to 5-0

The Wolverines knocked off their first MCFL opponent of the season, even if it was a non league game. The Wolverines topped the expansion team Central Kentcky Studs 34-7 at West Hardin Middle School.

The Wolverines were led by some familiar stars but also got key contributions from several up and coming players with local ties. DE Brandon Ditto (Campbellsville U) exceeded even his own high standard of play, leading a stalwart defense with 5 sacks. New comer DT Byron Tinker (Marshall University) showed amazing athleticism making plays sideline to sideline, and rookie AJ Lewis (Bardstown HS). The linebacking corps also came up big with MLB Craig Murphy shutting down the bread and butter power running game of the Studs, while OLB's Steven Milesko (Etown HS) contributed 2 sacks and Chris Tompkins got on the score board with a safety in the second quarter.

The defensive secondary has very impressive in the last 3 games but overshadowed some by the front 7. That was not the case today. Cb's Chris Williams and Will Griffin both recorded intereceptions. Chris also showed his playmaking ability by lateraling to SS Cody Eubanks who took it to the house for a defensive score. Eubanks also delivered several crushing blows to the Studs' receivers, serving notice to all receivers looking for the ball that they do so at their own risk. FS Michael Skees did a little double duty at wide receiver and had touchdown reception in addition to his stellar defensive play that we've all become accustomed to.

The Wolverine offense put 34 points on the board despite missing 3 starters. Rookie RB Petri Mercado (Ft. Knox) made his presence known early and often. "Cado" powered the running, scoring twice and continually lowering his shoulder and taking the contact to the Studs' defense. All American WR Shaun Boykins (Murray State) had what for most players would be a career game, 9 receptions for 138 yards. For Shaun it was just another day at the office. If he maintains his current pace, Shaun will become the Wolverines all-time leading receiver this season. Boykins wasn't the only Wolverine that had soft hands on Saturday. FB Adrian Starks (Etown Hs) expanded on his normal role as lead blocker / battering ram with 5 catches out of the backfield and a few agile moves that left defenders wondering where he went.

The Wolverines go on the road to play 2007 AA National Champion Adams County (Decatur, Indiana) Patriots.
