DeWitt, MI (09-23-2022): There is no place like home. The DeWitt Panthers defeated the Holt Rams 38-8 Friday night. It was induction night for the Hall of Fame Class of 2022 in ceremonies at half time. After two tough losses at Detroit Catholic Central in overtime and at East Lansing, the Panthers showed a bit of a hangover in the first half. The offense sputtered a bit with an interception, a missed field goal on a bad snap and lost a fumble. Brandon Soltis had two field goals of 30 and 28 yards. Holt led 8-6 at the half on a three yard pass from Seneca Moore to JJ More. That 80 yard drive accounted for 80% of their entire offense for the night. The Panther defense helped "tilt the field" for the offense and the offense ran downhill the second half. The offense caught fire by scoring on five of six possessions with the last possession running out the clock. The defense held the Rams to a three and out to start the second half and DeWitt drove 55 yards in nine plays with Bryce Kurncz taking it in from a yard out. To say the Ram defense kept an eye or two on Kurncz is a bit of an understatement. The PAT pass from Aspen Keyes to Abram Larner was perfectly thrown and caught. DeWitt took the lead for good, 14-6, at the 7:09 mark of the third quarter. Soltis pitching-wedge of a kick off landed perfectly about the Ram 35 yard line and Robert Lillie hustled down and jumped on the ball to give the Panthers even more lift. The short drive was ended when Landen Taber blasted in from one yard out for the TD and the two point conversion was no good. 20-8 DeWitt. The next drive for DeWitt started at the Ram 38 after a sweet 28 yard punt return by Kurncz. A holding penalty put DeWitt back to the 45 and then an L&L TD. Elliott Larner threw a pass to Abram Larner who ran it in for the TD with 2:57 to play in the third quarter. The PAT rush was no good. A 22-0 third quarter gave DeWitt a 28-8 lead heading into the fourth quarter. The Panther defense held Holt to -16 yards of offense in the third quarter while DeWitt had 169 yards of offense. The Panthers had the ball and scored their last TD of the game at the 11:46 mark on a 10 yard pass from Elliott Larner to Kurncz. Kurncz and the defender went up together but the veteran Kurncz came down with the ball. Soltis kicked the extra point for a 35-8 lead for DeWitt. Soltis added one more field goal with 7:34 to play to round out the scoring. Matthew Nehf led the Panther defense with eight tackles and 2.5 sacks. Robert Lillie had six tackles and the fumble recovery. A healthy Landon Taber is back and put pressure on Ram QB Moore all through the second half. He had five takcles and half a sack while Jack Schieding had four tackles and a sack. Elliott Larner had four tackles. The Rams Moore was 7 of 15 passing for 87 yards. Moore also led the Rams in rushing with 18 yards. Dyelan Arnold led the Ram receivers with 46 yards on three receptions. Larner led the Panther QB trio with 6 of 7 passing for 103 yards, Keys 3 of 6 for 18 yards and Kurncz 1 of two. DeWitt had 130 yards passing with Abram Larner's two receptions for 55 yards, Jensen Ridley had three for 41 yards, Kurncz thee for 23 yards. Kurncz led DeWitt with 76 yards in 11 carries, Blake Haller 54 yards on 7 carries, DeWitt rushed for 264 yards and had 396 yards of total offense. Up next for DeWitt next Friday evening will be the Grand Ledge Comets at Community Stadium in Grand Ledge. The Comets are 2-1 in the CAAC Blue and 4-1 overall. Congratulations to the Panther Freshman team for their first win of the season, a big one over Holt 38-7. The Junior Varsity traveled to Mona Shores and lost to the Sailors 32-12.
