OTTAWA LAKE – Whiteford’s offense scored on seven of its eight possessions Friday as the Bobcats dominated Detroit Loyola, 52-14.
Whiteford compiled 419 yards of total offense. Shea Ruddy completed all four of his passes, three of which went for touchdowns, for 155 yards. Hunter DeBarr caught a 65-yard touchdown in the second quarter, Ruddy tossed a 34-yard touchdown to his brother Ryin Ruddy and completed a 50-yard touchdown to Kolby Masserant.
The TD pass to Masserant started a running clock for the Bobcats (3-0).
“We had one of the best weeks of practice since I’ve been part of this program,” Bobcat coach Todd Thieken said. “We were prepared and played very well. I think the win over Ida last week prepared us for this.”
Ryin Ruddy had two interceptions for Whiteford. Iott made nine tackles.
