The game could not have started any better for the Wolverines. They had the first offensive possession of the game, and drove the field and scored. Jordan Mages made a spectacular catch from Taylor Ward for the TD. It was 7-0 Wolverines just like that. The defence held strong on the first possession as well forcing the Elmwood offence to a two and out.
The momentum turned in the second quarter when the Giants scored on back to back possessions taking a 14-7 lead. The Wolverines were able to answer back with a rare quarterback sneak by Taylor Ward running through a couple of Giants to score a TD from the 3 yard line, on a third down play. Before the end of the quarter the Giants were able to punch it in one more time with a nice 45 yard touchdown throw from their QB. At halftime the Wolverines were trailing 20-14.
The Giants started the second half with the ball and were able to drive the field and score their 4th touchdown of the game. The Wolverines were able to answer back immediately on their next possession, as the offensive line gave Ward time to throw a beautiful ball to the streaking Jordan Krenkevich who went untouched into the endzone scoring his first WHSFL touchdown. Have a look at the play below:
Unfortunately, the Wolverine defence was unable to lock it down and gave up another touchdown to the Giants, on a well executed quarterback bootleg. The Wolverines thought they answered back immediately on the ensuing kickoff where Fabian Jacobson ran it back 73 yards for the touchdown. However, the play was called back on an illegal block. The Wolverines were able to make it close with yet another TD from Ward. Throwing a perfect ball to Fabian Jacobson to make the score 28-34. But that is as close as they would get as the Wolverines lose their home opener to the Giants.

| Some impressive offensive numbers by the Wolverins |
Ward had one of his best games as a Wolverine, throwing for 3 TDs and running for 1 as well. However, if you were to ask him I am sure he would trade in all those stats for a WIN instead. M Fyfe was his regular self rushing for an impressive 134 yards. How about some of those receivers; Jacobson, Mages, and Krenkevich all had solid receiving numbers.
