?Lutheran Northwest loses tough contest to a physical Hamtramck team

??It appeared as though the shoe was on the other foot this past Thursday night when Lutheran Northwest (1-0) hosted Hamtramck (0-1). A very physical Hamtramck team took their opening drive to the end zone and never looked back. The Crusaders had bright spots during the evening, but not enough as the Cosmos of Hamtramck cruised past the Crusaders. The Crusaders were 10 of 33 through the air for only 130 yards, and rushed for 104 yards on 25 carries, led by Junior Danny Macks who carried the ball 15 times for 89 yards. The offense moved the ball effectively at times, but was plagued with dropped passes that stalled 5 drives in the first half. A highlight for the Crusaders was a touchdown pass caught by Junior Paul Rosa thrown by Senior Michael Justice early in the third quarter. The defense was led by Junior Danny Macks who had 17 tackles on the evening followed closely by Zack Alkire who had 16 tackles and 2 sacks. Max Preps Congratulated  #4 Daniel Macks (overall), #67 Evan Bowlds (offensive), #15 Zack Alkire (defensive) and #12 Mike Justice (special teams) for being selected the Lutheran Northwest Football Players of the Game.
