It’s easy to see the bar has been raised significantly at Muhlenberg.
| Final | |
| Muhlenberg | 51 |
| Daniel Boone | 0 |
The Muhls, a team that won just one game two seasons, now expect to put teams away handily. They did it last week to Reading High and did it again Friday against winless Daniel Boone, scoring on all six of their first-half possessions on the way to a 51-0 rout at Brazinsky Field.
“We had a great week of practice” said All-State running back Cameron Small. “We knew this could be an easy game for us if we worked hard and executed, and that’s exactly what we did.”
Small started the rampage with a 35-yard TD run less than two minutes into the game and completed it with a 51-yard run in the final seconds of the first half.
That put the Muhls (3-0) ahead 51-0 and initiated a running clock for the entire second half.
“I was expecting our kids to go out and play really hard,” said Muhls head coach Rob Flowers, “to have an attitude that they wanted to score as many times as they possibly could and stop (Daniel Boone) from scoring as many times as they possibly could.”
The Muhls checked all of those boxes against the Blazers (0-3).
Small led all rushers with nine carries and 152 yards.
Sophomore quarterback Adriel Baez completed 8-of-9 passes for 152 yards with a pair of TDs, 44 yards to Freddy Lacey and 6 yards to Christian Coley. The elusive Lacey led all receivers with four catches for 91 yards.
Senior Michael Miller scored twice, his a 73-yard run to pushed the Muhls’ lead to 44-0.
The Muhls’ defense also showed up big. They picked off three passes and saw senior linebacker Cooper Burr return one 12 yards for a TD.
Muhlenberg finished the game with 413 total yards and held Daniel Boone to 72. It has outscored its first three opponents 144-14.
While there was much to be excited about, 11 penalties did not make Flowers happy.
“There’s something we’ve gotta continue to clean up,” said Flowers. “We have to make sure we
clean up some of these penalties, the extra holds; we can’t have those errors and/or mistakes.”
