The Varsity Colts downed the Walled Lake Braves Saturday with the help of a newly minted 14 year old, Quarterback Nick Lauderback. Nick scored six times on 200+ yards rushing and one fumble recovery, to lead the Colts to their second consecutive win.

Jake Willerer started the contest with a successful onside kick that was recovered by Northville’s Tommy Mandell. That set up the first of Lauderback's scoring runs. The offensive line of the Colts, created many a cavernous ravine, against a highly vaulted Walled Lake Defense. Alex Condino, Aidan Macdonald, Gavin (Big Game on Sat.) Nafso, Zack Zakaria, Jordan Morgan and Alec Stimach all excelled.

The Colts led the entire contest and were aided by interceptions by Brett Rankin and Brett Rudolph. Rankin got in on the scoring as well with a six yard gallop in the 4th quarter.

Defensively, the above mentioned Nafso, was seemingly in on every tackle. Nolan O’Callaghan, The Brothers Ladach (Parker and Alex) and Adam Harp were also laying prone, a Brave's ball carrier. Other major contributors, who’s name was bandied about consisted of Scott Rodgers, Nickolas Konen, James Monticelli and Alec Cardenas. Other notables were Quarterback Declan Byle and Cayden Saunders.

Next week is Homecoming, which can only mean that one of THE most coveted trophy in ALL of sport... The "Shoe" will be up for grabs! Come catch the action this Saturday 7:00pm October 15th at Tom Holzer field for the last regular game of the season. Your Northville Colts v Northville Stallions.
