Big Game from Olurotimi As Maine East Fell 17-8

Olurotimi picked up a sack, made 13 total tackles (3.0 for loss), and defended a pass. He is on a roll when it comes to total tackles, as he's now made seven or more in the last eight games he's played dating back to last season.
Maine East has traveled a rocky road recently having lost five of their last six matches, which put a noticeable dent in their 3-5 record this season. Olurotimi and Maine East will be playing in front of their home fans against Niles West at 6:00 p.m. on Friday.
