Coming off last week’s loss to Goshen, New Richmond believed it needed to win its final two games to have a chance at securing its first playoff appearance since 2001. On Friday night, the Lions played like a team desperate for a win.
Senior fullback Mike Maupin led an impressive rushing attack with 146 yards helping lift the Lions to a 57-14 victory over rival Western Brown in a Southern Buckeye Conference American Division matchup played at New Richmond.
The Lions rushed for 472 yards. Garrett Myers had 103 yards rushing and Andrew Nealan added 99.
"We really tried to push them to play with passion and they really responded," said New Richmond head coach Dan Scholz. "I’m very proud of our team. Tonight’s game said a lot about our character coming off the loss last week."
