Both the Milledgeville Girls Softball team and the Girls Track & Field team achieved a 3.68 and 3.65 total cumulative grade point average respectively for the 2011-12 season, qualifying them for the IHSA Team Academic Achievement Award. It is extremely rewarding to see teamwork both in competition and in the classroom. Congratulations to these fine student athletes! Cover Story . . . Missiles End Skid
Breaking a streak of twenty five consecutive losses, dating back to 2009, the Milledgeville Missiles hosted the Durand Bulldogs on Friday evening at Floyd Daub Field and handed the visitors a nineteen point loss (39-20). The game was also Milledgeville’s Homecoming to make the victory even sweeter. The Missiles offense was hitting on all cylinders as QB Kameron DawTyne hooked up with Jordan Harris for TD passes of fifty three and thirty five yards. He also hit Zach Schmidt for a fifteen yard score.
The ground game was led by running back Daniel Walker who ran the ball eighteen times for one hundred ninety six yards and touchdown runs of seventy six and seven yards. DawTyne also scored himself on a six yard run. Milledgeville (1-6) hosts the Stockton Blackhawks (6-0) on Friday night while Durand (2-4) travels to Freeport to battle the Aquin Bulldogs (6-0).
EPC Shuts Out East DubuqueThe Wildcatz scored in each quarter except the third and their defense held the Warriors scoreless as EPC rolled to the twenty eight point victory at home on Friday night. QB Tim Vandenburgh started the scoring as he found the end zone on a nine yard first quarter run. EPC added fourteen second quarter points on a four yard run by Vandenburgh and a one yard pass to Ben Thomas. Eric Schaney capped the scoring in the fourth quarter on a three yard run. The ‘Catz will attempt to run their record to seven wins against no losses as they travel to South Beloit on Friday night to battle the Sobos (1-5) while East Dubuque (4-2) will travel to Hanover to take on the River Ridge Wildcats (1-5). Indians Stop The ThunderDakota’s ground game was clicking as they ran for three hundred forty one yards and had three runners carry the football for over one hundred as they handed West Carroll the fourteen point (32-18) loss. West Carroll kept the game close as Dakota held just a six point lead (18-12) in the third quarter. Brandon Sturtevant had an eighty four yard kickoff return for a TD and Casey Lloyd scored from six yards out to keep the game within reach but the Indians Matt Ryan and Travis Kortemeier scored fourth quarter touchdowns to put the game out of reach. The Thunder’s Shaun Magill snared a Nick Hughes pass for West Carroll’s final score. Dakota’s Drew Truckenmiller ran the football sixteen times for one hundred seven yards while teammates Ruan and Kortemeier added one hundred twenty eight and one hundred six yards respectively. Hughes completed eleven of twenty one passes for one hundred sixty two yards. Trevor Jones caught six of those tosses for one hundred twenty four yards. The Thunder (2-4) host the Forreston Cardinals (5-1) on Friday night while Dakota (3-3) travels to Pecatonica to take on the Indians (0-6). Amboy Clippers Tame Mustangsby Bill PopkinThe unbeaten Amboy Clippers sailed into Morrison on Friday, September 28 to make a statement that they were contenders for the Big Rivers Conference crown, and they did just that. Controlling the football in over 8 of the final 12 minutes of the game, the Clippers (6-0) sustained two drives that resulted in touchdowns to capture a big win against defending 2A state champs Morrison(3-3). An interesting side-note in the game was that no extra points were scored by either team throughout the evening. In first period action Morrison had 3 possessions and Amboy 2, but neither squad could sustain any momentum that resulted in scores. After one stanza, there was no score. With :22 remaining in the second frame, Tyson Powers of Amboy passed to Tyler Aikens from 17 yards out to cap a 4-play 57 yard drive to put the Clippers up 6-0 at intermission. Morrison got on the board in the third period on a 19 yard pass play from Matt Wilkens to Danny Willis at the 7:17 point. Bailey Appleman, the big Clipper fullback, answered back later by plunging in from the 1-yard hash mark to put Amboy back in front for good 12-6 going into the final portion of the ballgame. After 14 plays and over 7 minutes had elapsed to begin the last quarter, Cooper Nelson scored for the Clippers on a 4 yard surge to give them a commanding 18-6 advantage. The Mustang defense began to tire. However, on Morrison’s next offensive play, Wilkens again hit Willis on a 54 yard scoring strike to close the gap to one touchdown. But the Clipper offensive line began to take over the contest. Sailing down the field on 10 plays, Applemann again crossed the goal line with 3:01 remaining to give Amboy a 24-12 lead that would hold up as the final score. Amboy has 24 offensive plays to 5 for the Mustangs in the final period of action. For Amboy, Nelson had 94 yards of rushing offense while Applemann chipped in 90 more. Morrison was led on the ground by Willis with 40 yards. Morrison now hosts Riverdale on October 5 for their homecoming game. The Morrison Ponies were defeated 36-12 in the preliminary football contest.
