The football team shut out North Springs 46-0 last Friday to move its record to 4-3-1 overall and 4-3 in Region 6-AAAA play. Backup quarterback Mydrikus Ealey got the start, as starter Kendrick Ings was held out for most of the contest, and threw for four touchdowns. Miller Grove’s defense held North Springs’ offense in check all game, limiting the Spartans to just four first downs. Ings, who has been nursing a knee injury all season, saw limited action because of the slick conditions caused by Friday’s rain. The Wolverines were coming off of a 35-13 loss to Marist on Oct. 17. Against the War Eagles, Kenneth Gilstrap scored on a 72-yard touchdown run and Stephen Hill caught a 30-yard touchdown reception from Ings. With tiebreakers in their favor, the Wolverines now sit alone in the fourth and final playoff spot in Region 6-AAAA thanks to a Chamblee loss. The team, however, still realizes the importance of its next two games. “Bottom line is, we still have to win to get in,” Wolverine head coach Jasper Jewell said. They play Lakeside-DeKalb on Friday, before ending the season versus Chamblee on Nov. 7.
