When the Plymouth Wildcats played host to the visiting Milford Mavericks on Thursday, a 45-0 rout wasn't quite what the home team or its coach had expected. "I've got the utmost respect for coach (Pat) Fox," Plymouth coach Mike Sawchuck said of his Milford counterpart. "The kids just went out there and played hard."

The Wildcats wouldn't look back, building such a wide early lead that the game clock ran through most of the game's second half, as is the case in games with lopsided leads. Plymouth senior Nate Emminger's speed …
