New faces rendered the same results for the Algoma football team on Friday as they beat Newman Catholic 44-6.

The Wolves started fast with a 24-0 lead in the first quarter and never looked back. All of the Cardinals' points came in the fourth quarter with a running clock and the end result all but confirmed.

Ethan Melotte only completed two passes, but they both were for long touchdowns as he accumulated 110 yards through the air. Melotte also added a team-high 75 yards and a score on the ground while Jack Meverden (73 yards, two touchdowns) and Jack Schwader (62 yards, one touchdown) added to the rushing attack. Cooper Fay caught both passes for the Wolves. The Wolves defense pounced on opportunities as well with two interceptions and one fumble recovery.

The Wolves hit the road again on Thursday to face Wausaukee for a 7 p.m. kickoff.
