New Milwaukee football squad in town crowned ‘Team of the Week’
MILWAUKEE — In Milwaukee, play is delight.
“I wish to placed on for my metropolis, placed on for the present and present them that we actually can do it,” says Cameron Grey, a sophomore receiver at Milwaukee Academy of Science.
This season, there is a new staff within the metropolis, the Milwaukee Academy of Science Novas.
“It is lots of people doubting us, so I needed to show the haters flawed. So we did our factor on the market. 60-ZIP,” says Brayln Albritton, freshman quarterback for Novas.
Constructing a program from scratch, the Novas dominated Cudahy in week one of many highschool soccer season. By air and floor, this staff was in a position to rating sufficient touchdowns ok for 2 wins in most conferences.
“Hold is rolling. It does not cease till the sport is over. I obtained the most effective receiver core within the nation, Westbrook, Cam, all of them,” says Brayln.
Sadly for his or her opponents, placing up 60 factors did not even come near quenching the Nova’s thirst.
“We wish to go all the best way man. We expect 60 factors wasn’t sufficient. We wish to put extra on the board as a staff. I obtained a younger quarterback, the most effective quarterback within the nation and I obtained religion in my quarterback,” says Cameron.
Let’s not overlook, that the Novas protection is simply as hungry for achievement.
“Our protection, man, we hit exhausting. We obtained some good ones on protection. You see in apply I used to be scuffling with them. Our protection could be very powerful, it may be powerful to attain on our protection,” says Brayln.
With apply at the moment occurring in a public park, simply west of American Household Discipline, there isn’t any want for bulletin board materials.
“It simply makes me wish to grind extra. It makes me wish to show them flawed and present them that we are able to do one thing. We’re a metropolis staff and metropolis groups do not actually win state. I wish to present that we are able to do one thing and we’re particular,” says Brayln.
Neither is there a necessity for handouts as a result of this new squad already has the boldness of a champion.
“No matter we are able to placed on, it is a work ethic. I obtained religion we are able to get 100,” says Cameron.
Congratulations to the Milwaukee Academy of Science Novas for being named the Friday Soccer Frenzy Crew of the Week.

RMU Basketball: 3 keys to Colonials road matchup at Milwaukee Panthers
RMU Basketball is back on a win streak after wins over Wright State and Green Bay, with the latest coming Friday night by 22 points. But after beating the worst team in the Horizon League, the Colonials are on the road to take on one of the best teams in Milwaukee (13-6, 6-2).
The Panthers are at the end of a three-game homestand, with wins over Green Bay and coming off an impressive 79-64 victory over league contender, Youngstown State. RMU can get over .500 in league play and make a case for being in the top tier itself with a win on Sunday afternoon.
Here are the keys to the game for the road team.
1. Good perimeter defense without fouling
Milwaukee’s strength is in its backcourt offensively, with four double-digit scoring guards. Themus Fulks (15.3 ppg and 4.9 apg) leads the way, while Kentrell Pullian and AJ McKee are also in the mix as go-to options. Plus, Erik Pratt has recently returned, averaging 10.7 ppg off the bench as the team’s 6th Man. They aren’t a good shooting team but they thrive slashing to the basket. So if you’re the Colonials, you have to do not only a good job preventing them getting easy buckets, but also without fouling.
2. Dealing with Jamichael Stillwell on the boards
The Panthers are one of the best rebounding teams in the nation, ranking in the top 10 at just under 42 a game, including 15 offensive rebounds on average. Stillwell, who missed a couple of games before returning the last game, is averaging 13.4 ppg and 11.9 rpg, which is first in the nation. The other elite rebounder in the Horizon League is RMU’s Alvaro Folguerias, who is producing 12.8 ppg and 10.3 rpg. The Colonial big man will need to have a good game to have a chance on the road.
3. Kam Woods having an all-league performance
Is there are chance that Woods can make his way to an all-league team? He’s currently averaging 14.5 ppg and 4.4 apg, with his shooting percentages starting to rise after a few good outings. He’s been good on the road as of late as well, including a 29-point outing at Oakland.
Milwaukee is one of the top teams in the Horizon League, and beating them on the road will be a tough challenge. If Woods doesn’t have a good game, then RMU Basketball isn’t going to win.
