The styles differed. The results didn’t.

Senior backs Vince Campisi and Jack May ran for three touchdowns apiece to lead Lutheran North to a 49-13 Catholic League Intersectional 1 football victory over University Liggett on Friday night.

Campisi scored on runs of 5, 5 and 6 yards, and May scored from 60, 45 and 3 yards as the Mustangs improved to 2-0 in the division and 4-1 overall with the homecoming victory.

“We’re a dynamic duo,” Campisi said. “When I’m in, I go for a bunch of yards, and when he’s in, he goes for a bunch of yards.”

Campisi and May are “two different backs,” coach Garrett Wenzelburger said.

“Jack is a home run hitter,” Wenzelburger said, “He’s a 100-meter dash runner, so he’s got that breakaway speed.

“Vinnie is able to wait for his blocks to develop and make those jump-cuts. He’s so shifty between the tackles. He’s not a big guy, but, man, he runs hard. He always falls forward, which is something you look for. They’re a great 1-2 punch.”

Sophomore Adam Narr scored Lutheran North’s final touchdown on a 10-yard run with 9:22 left. Coupled with Will Pruzinsky’s fifth extra-point kick of the game, it gave the Mustangs a 49-13 lead.

University Liggett scored on a pair of touchdown passes by Nikkos Davis. The junior connected with senior Santino Cicarella on an 88-yard strike on the Knights’ second possession of the game, and he threw a 26-yarder to senior Marvin Hartfield in the third quarter.

Campisi and May scored two touchdowns apiece in the first half as the Mustangs built a 28-7 lead against ULS and first-year coach Andre Rison, a former Michigan State and NFL receiver.

“We’ll go back to the drawing board and keep getting better with every play,” Rison said after the Knights fell to 1-1 and 3-2. “These young fellas are learning how to play football. We’re not upset or mad that we lost a game; we got beat by a good opponent. We’ve just got to go back as a young team and correct our mistakes.

“We had our chances. On the road, against a good team, we’ve just got to play better. We’re excited about the rest of the season, and I’m also excited about the future. We’re young.”

Campisi’s first 5-yard touchdown run capped a 15-yard drive set up when ULS turned the ball over on downs deep in the Knights’ end of the field.

After University Liggett tied the score on Cicarella’s touchdown, Lutheran North struck with a big play of its own — May’s 60 yard burst.

May dashed 45 yards to account for most of a 65-yard drive that followed a punt, and Campisi ran five yards with 6:07 left in the second quarter for a 28-7 lead.

“We came out fast on offense,” Wenzelburger said. “It was nice to see. We came out hot right from the get-go on offense and defense.”

Wenzelburger said the Mustangs practiced well all week despite the usual distractions of homecoming.

“There was a lot of focus,” the coach said. “We asked them to give us a little extra focus this week, to back off some of the festivities. I’m proud of them for listening to us and focusing in.”

Campisi extended Lutheran North’s lead to 35-7 when he ran six yards a few plays after ULS fumbled a punt.

“Just our amazing (offensive) line and the work of our coaches,” Campisi said when asked what made the rushing attack work. “Great team, great program. The culture around here is great. The way we’re coached is all about pounding the football.”

Lutheran North plays at Cranbrook next Saturday, and ULS hosts Riverview Richard on Friday as conference play continues.
