East Olympians Blog

Just a few quick thoughts on the East-Seymour sectional opener:

It was good to see Nick Olds back in the lineup for the Olympians. He had just one catch, but it was a spectacular highlight-reel style 39-yard reception. It was also good to see that East’s passing game is more than just Olds and Duwyce Wilson. Of course, it’s been that way for some time, but Shane Henderson continues to impress and Clayton Miller made his presence known with an 81-yard scoring pass from Dusty Kiel.

The East defense got tested a little bit by the Owls, who put together some good drives. But some big sacks and a couple of key turnovers helped ensure another easy victory.

One last item to note: I forgot to mention this in the story in Saturday’s paper, but I’ll point it out her as well as in Monday Morning QB — Matt Wilson became the fifth player in school history with 200 career points. Wilson’s six extra points on Friday give him exactly 200 points for his career. Duwyce Wilson and Joumeel McLaurine each have 188 points in their careers; it’s pretty likely they’ll join the 200-point club as well.

Next up, Madison.
