 Reuther picks a pair, Silverthorn scores a pair Photos by Cassie Rickert White Cloud 26 Hesperia 14 The M-20 rivalry between these two schools entered a new era as they played their first non conference game in the 73 game history of this on field competition. And this one went to White Cloud. Behind a strong defensive effort that included a trio of interceptions and 5 sacks the hosts were able to contain the passing game of Panther QB Alex Gleason who nonetheless finished with 10 completions for 163 yards. Jace Silverthorn and Carlos Brown combined for 21 tackles, Lloyd Sebright-Johnson and Landon McGowen each tallied a pair of sacks and Mason Reuther had a pair of picks with Nate Compeau adding another. On the offensive side Silverthorn ran for 133 yards scoring a pair of TD’s and added a scoring toss to Compeau while McGowen found the endzone as part of his 77 yards on the ground. Panther running back Skyler Stalbaum finished with 16 rushes for 96 yards and a touchdown, Gleason added to his passing stats with 61 yards rushing and a TD and Mav McKinnon caught 3 passes for 71 yards to go with his 32 yards on the ground. Bryce Billings (3) Brock Bolles (2) and Ian Fox (2) were also on the receiving end of Gleason passes. On the defensive side Bolles tallied a dozen tackles while Stalbaum added 8 and recovered a fumble. Coach Gorman: “The boys played extremely well! The hard work they put into their conditioning showed as they were relentless the whole night. Unfortunately we didn't have a JV game this week so we dressed some underclassmen that stepped up in a huge way when a couple guys got banged up, Blake Borgman (Fr.) being the shining star of the group. Defensively we had to make some adjustments due to the athleticism of some of their guys. They have some really good athletes and their coaches put them in some good situations to show that. Our usual leaders performed to their expectations but Jose Saavedra Mena had some great plays on the D-Line. Offensively our run game was strong as we anticipated with Jace Silverthorn and Landyn McGowen leading the way. Mason Ruether did a great job leading the team from the qb spot and the O-Line as a whole really worked hard to make that happen. The team is firing on all cylinders and we're excited to head to Kent City next week! White Cloud (2-1) will open conference play in the CSAA Siver when they travel to Kent City Friday to face the undefeated Eagles while Hesperia (1-2) will make their WMC debut facing North Muskegon(2-1).
