BIG RAPIDS — Onekama came out of the gates running, scoring 42 points in the first half of a 48-8 West Michigan D League win over Crossroads Charter Academy.
Quinn Matthews rushed for 115 yards and three touchdowns for the Portagers (3-3, 3-0 WMD), while Adrian Norman, Tyler Fogarty and Jordan Coe also contributed touchdown runs.
Onekama coach Jim Hunter was pleased with his team’s rushing attack in the win.
“Our offense looks simple but that’s by design,” he said. “We keep plugging along and all of a sudden we break off a big play. I was pleased with how we ran the ball and how our defense played up front.”
Onekama scored first on a 37-yard interception return by Drew Slevin with 9:59 in the first quarter.
The Portagers would get on the board with 5:27 in the first quarter on a 29-yard run by Matthews, followed by a 10-yard touchdown run by Fogarty to close out the first quarter.
