Timberwolves: Roll past Warriors in openerFrom / C8But the Warriors still found themselves down, 28-7, with 2:15 to go in the second quarter.Northwood increased that lead seconds later when on the second play of its ensuing possession, Keller ran 71 yards on a sweep to the left side for a touchdown.Keller showed more of what he could do early in the third quarter, providing the highlight play of thenight.He spun away from a defender in the backfield and then burst around the left side for a 60-yard touchdown run to give Northwood a 42-7 lead.“I saw the guy coming, turned around and put my hand out (on the ground) to stay balanced, Keller said. I then just started running. I thought one of their guys was going to catch me. It was close.”Curtis, the Northwood coach, was impressed.He doesn't do that type of thing in practice because we blow the whistle to quit,” Curtis said.But that one run he made was unbelievable. He kind of spun around, put his hand down and ran away from people. He has just got a game speed that we don't get to see all of the time.”Sine showed that he is going to be a similarly effective back for Woodbridge this season on the Warriors' final score, which came with 11:07 left to go inthe game.Sine, who finished with 78 yards on 22 carries, powered in from two yards out.Anderson looked more comfortable on the possession, hooking up with James Irwin for a 29-yard pass play and then finding Zac Sagay open for a gain toset up Sine's touchdown.Anderson completed 11 for 22 passes for 78 yards on the evening.Thanks to a strong rushing attack, Northwood quarterbacks Bryan Curtis and Dan Selway only had to throw nine passes combined.Curtis was 4 of 8 for 30 yards, while Selway completed his lone pass to Sean Curtis, which turned into a 70-yard play.It led to a 2-yard run for a score by Trenton Kash-ima, which capped Northwood's scoring late in thethird quarter.We really executed on offense and on defense we flew to the ball and did some good things, said Coach Curtis.We had some big plays. Keller busted a qouple of runs. Max Nikolenko had a great game. Erik Boss-hart was all over the field. Brad Rife played steady. And our quarterbacks did a good job. We couldn't ask for a better first game.”Tim Burt contributed to this story.
