Elks Ground Up Princeton
Centerville returned to its vaunted rushing attack and registered a 49-30 win over Princeton, the No. 6 team in Cincinnati. The 2-0 Elks gained 493 yards on 61 carries to the delight of the home opening night crowd of 5,800.
Star of the game: Take your pick. Nick Miller, a 5-foot-7 bulldozer, rushed for a career-high 202 yards on 31 carries. But you can’t ignore quarterback Logan Hanes who gained 151 yards and scored three touchdowns.
The turning point: Hanes 40-yard keeper with 8:05 left in the third quarter put the Elks up 35-23.
What this means: After shredding Princeton’s defense, the Elks looked like they were in mid-season form. They displayed resiliency after falling behind 16-7 early.
Quote: “Our defense played very well and applied pressure from every angle to contain (quarterback) Spencer Ware,” said Centerville coach Ron Ullery. “Ware is very scary and reminds me of Troy Smith. “Thanks to our defense, we didn’t see the real Spencer Ware.”
Ware gained 123 yards last week against Cincinnati Moeller. Against the stout Elks defense, he was limited to 17 yards on nine carries.
On deck: Centerville will play Moeller next Saturday at University of Cincinnati’s Nippert Stadium (7 p.m.). Moeller beat Princeton 27-17 in the opening week.
