Wildcats fall to Titans

ALPENA, MI - The Alpena Football team struggled to get going offensively in a 21-0 home loss to the Traverse City West Titans on Friday night at Wildcat Stadium.  Alpena started strong as they forced a Titan punt early in the opening quarter.  As Alpena was gaining momentum a botched handoff was picked up by Braden Rubinas and returned 32-yards for the Titan score.   The two teams battled evenly through much of the 1st half until a 4th down stop by the Titans gave them the ball near midfield.  The Titans drove the ball 57-yards and capped it off with a Sam DeKuiper run to take a 14-0 halftime lead.  The 2nd half again saw both teams evenly playing each other as the Wildcats defense kept the Titans off the scoreboard for most of the half.  However, the Alpena offense could not break through the Titan defense.  Traverse City West put the game out of reach when DeKuiper found Odin Soffredine for a touchdown to put the Titans up 21-0.  Logan Guthrie carried the ball 30 times for 138 yards and Jordan Schultz added 38 yards rushing.  The Titans held Alpena to just 187 yards of total offense.  The Wildcats (2-3, 0-3 BNC) host Ypsilanti on Saturday at Wildcat Stadium.  Ypsilanti is 1-4 on the season and is coming off of a 35-32 loss to Tecumseh on Friday.
