High-Octane Elks In Another Resounding Win
On paper, it was a mismatch. In reality, it was even worse as Centerville clobbered outmanned Miamisburg 54-0 in a Greater Western Ohio Conference crossover. The Elks generated its power game to the tune of 394 yards on 54 carries. It was the first time the south suburban schools had met since 1967. The series is now tied at 3-3.
Star (s) of the Game Defensive stalwarts Eric Engholm, Scott Cole, Sean Fickert, Jamael Green and Adam Replogle.
“We wanted to play hard, play fast and play assignment-sound football,” Engholm said. “The effort was there tonight from all eleven players.”
Said coach Ron Ullery: “Our defense controlled the line and came at them hard. The guys spent a lot of time in their backfield.”
Turning point Sophomore Tristin Boykin provided the electricity with a game-opening 88-yard kickoff return.
“I went to the middle, broke off to the side, saw a seam and only had one guy to beat and I broke that tackle,” Boykin said. “It’s a wonderful feeling scoring my first touchdown.”
What this means Coach Ullery gives his squad a midterm grade of a B. The Elks have generated some momentum entering next week’s GWOC Central opener against Springfield.
Quote “The best thing tonight was the improvement in the special teams with a kickoff return and a punt return (Drew Keister 39-yard return for a TD),” Ullery said. “The kickoff coverage was good.”
Stats Nick Miller bulled his way for 95 yards in 14 carries. “Nothing fancy, just an old-school, throwback, blue-collar guy who can equally play fullbakc or halfback.”
