Our Lady looks to Gabriel Richard after 48-0 victory

 Waterford Our Lady of the Lakes bounced back from a tough loss in Cleveland by burying Hamtramck, 48-0, on the road on Thursday, Sept. 1.

“We got to see mistakes that we made, such as a back running through the wrong hole, but we saw positive improvement in a number of areas, such as good trap blocking, a couple blocked punts and our backs got some holes to run through,” said Our Lady Head Coach Mike Boyd.

Mitch Lasceski scored the Lakers’ (1-1) first touchdown on a 2-yard run before Sal Mastromatteo threw an 18-yard touchdown pass to Garrett Ross for a 14-0 lead.

Jake Doetsch then scored on a 2-yard touchdown run to complete Our Lady’s first-quarter scoring.

Christian Heiss then got into the act with two touchdown runs from 1 yard and 3 yards out, respectively, to give Our Lady a 34-0 halftime lead.

Ben Bellestri then scored on a 3-yard touchdown run in the third quarter before Lucas Neme scored on a 20-yard touchdown run in the fourth.

Doetsch was also 3-for-4 on extra point attempts while Spencer Howell was 3-for-3.

The Lakers were coming off a 41-14 loss at Cleveland (Ohio) Villa Angela St. Joseph on Saturday, Aug. 27.

Hamtramck fell to 1-1.

Our Lady will next play its home opener on Saturday, Sept. 10 against Catholic League opponent Riverview Gabriel Richard.
