Whitmer got their win on the backs of several key players, but it was Jamon Holmes out in front who rushed for 69 yards and two scores. Holmes has been hot, having posted two or more rushing touchdowns the last six times he's played.
Wins are hard to come by when you can't run the rock, something Whitmer proved: they limited Perrysburg to a paltry 3.4 yards per carry. The team can thank Brock Duvall for the heroic effort on defense: he. Whitmer's ground attack was stronger, having averaged 4.7.
