Wildcat Defense Sets Tone

Harvey (Thornton) - You could almost tell from the beginning that Lincon-Way Central was going to have a hard time playing the Wildcats. The very first play from scrimmage for the Knights, Dan Johnson had the ball punched out of his arms and straight into the air and into the arms of defenseman Raphael Murphy who would run it 17 yards for a Wildcat touchdown 9 seconds into the game.

Thornton's defense was fired up as Thornton junior Eric Hudson would intercept two of junior QB Ross Larson's passes, William Sutton would also have a pick. Thornton's defense was swarming the Lincoln-Way line from the beginning, blocking a punt in the second quarter & seeing defensemen Murphy, Timothy Jamison & Jeff Nowden all register at least one sack. Thornton gave up just 101 yards rushing & 83 in the air, as 8 of those came on a TD reception to Doug Paver with 16 seconds left in the game.

Thornton did play offense as well on Saturday afternoon. Running back Demetrius Rudd racked up 135 yards on 14 carries, his longest being a 65 yard run on the first play of a Thornton drive with 7:01 left in the first. He'd score once again in the second on a 1 yard dive.

Marcus Randle El rushed for 83 yards on 11 carries with 1 TD & was 3 for 5 with 30 yards passing, Antonio Tribble had the lone touchdown pass for Thornton as he came in for one play only, early in the 4th to complete a 32 yard halfback pass to receiver Brandon Tobias. Senior Martell Frazier scored on an amazing 60 yard run where he dodged or broke away from at least 5 defenders.

Lincoln-Way's running back Steve Strimel would gain 82 yards on the ground while Larson went 8 for 20 with a TD & 3 interceptions.
