12-6 Book to Upload - UW-Whitewater Athletics

103. Grizzlie QB Jonny West went 6-20 in the half. Although Franklin considers a fast paced game to its
advantage, the fact they had the ball 11:18 in the first half, to 18:42 for Whitewater, demonstrated control
of the line of scrimmage by the offensive line and Whitewater’s defense forcing the Grizzlies off the field.
Whitewater received the kickoff in the second half and covered 61 yards in nine plays to make it 42-0.
Blanchard hit fullback Bernie Tamsett (Waterford/Waterford Union) with a two yard swing pass at 10:46.
Warhawk defensive back Jared Kiesow (Horicon/Horicon) ended Franklin’s next drive, forcing a fumble
that Jesse Hamilton (Racine/Park) picked up at the UW-W 46.
An Eric Kindler (Germantown/Germantown) 31 yard field goal with 10:51 left in the game ended the
scoring.
After gaining 669 yards in the season opening win at Valparaiso, the UW-W defense held the Grizzlies to
198 yards, just 40 on 27 attempts coming rushing the ball. UW-W averaged 5.5 yards per rush and
totaled 465 yards. Blanchard went 13-18 for 128 yards and two TD’s, with five of those receptions going
to Tyler Huber (Mukwonago/North Prairie). Coppage wound up as the game’s leading rusher even
though he did not carry the ball in the second half. Ward contributed 71 yards on 14 rushes. West
wound up 18-36 for 158 yards and two interceptions. Wideout Logan Worley had five catches for FC.
Hamilton led Whitewater with six tackles and one for a loss, with Keeser chipping in with five tackles, two
for a loss, and the sack. Franklin linebacker David O’Rourke was one of three Grizzlie defenders with
double figure tackles, credited with 14 and a tackle for a loss.
