Captains remain winless; Central falls to Stevenson

 Waterford Kettering finds itself at 0-2 after a tough 17-10 loss at home to South Lyon on Thursday, Aug. 30.

Kettering had a 7-0 lead in the first quarter after a Lions’ error on a punt gave the Captains the ball at the South Lyon 4-yard line and Alec Spurlock scored on a 5-yard touchdown run.

But Lions’ quarterback Andy Garcia responded with a 75-yard touchdown run to tie the score at 7.

After Andrew Steiler kicked a field goal for a 10-7 Kettering lead, Garcia threw a 30-yard touchdown pass to Tyler Nelson to give South Lyon (2-0) a 14-10 advantage at halftime.

A Lions’ field goal in the fourth quarter would put South Lyon up by 7 and that’s how the game would end.

Spurlock finished with 102 yards rushing for the Captains.

Kettering also lost to the Lions’ neighbor, South Lyon East, the previous week.

The Captains will next host Walled Lake Central on Friday, Sept. 7 to open Kensington Lakes Activities Association (KLAA) North Division play.
