April 15, 2007
In the annual spring football game held Sunday afternoon at Adams Field, the White squad defeated the Green team 17-7.
The white team, led by junior quarterback Mickey Berce (Dearborn, Mich.), had a 10-play, 65-yard drive on the opening possession culminating in a 16-yard Berce pass to fullback Brian Rilley (Taylor, Mich./Allen Park Cabrini). The white team converted two third down plays including a 15-yard pass from Berce to Kenny Schmidt (Waterford, Mich./Mott).
After the green team went three-and-out, the white squad went 80 yards in 10 plays with Chris Alsina (Beaumont, Calif.) hauling in a 23-yard touchdown pass from Berce.
On the opening drive of the second half, the green team went 65 yards in 16 plays to pull within a score at 14-7. Wide receiver Adrian Dawkins (Detroit, Mich./Renaissance) had an 18-yard touchdown reception from Nolan Martin (Berrien Springs, Mich.) on a fourth-and-17.
Both teams punted on their next possessions, but on the ensuing white team drive Josh Rouhan (Howard City, Mich./Tri County) hooked up with Bruno Shkreli (Livonia, Mich./Clarenceville) on a 57-yard TD pass that was called back for holding. On the very next play, Wendell Thompson (Flint, Mich./Southwestern Academy) intercepted Rouhan and returned it 20 yards across midfield.
On a fourth-and-three for the green squad, Joique Bell (Benton Harbor, Mich.) was tripped up for no gain by senior linebacker Alan Guy (Rochester Hills, Mich./Rochester Adams).
On the very next play, Thompson made a touchdown saving tackle after Shkreli had gained 62 yards. Five plays later David Chudzinski (Belleville, Mich.) made a 19-yard field goal to conclude the scoring.
