Even though he had the lowest offensive output of the season, John Weninger still put on a pretty good show in Lomira's 21-0 loss to Springs on Friday night. I'm glad I made the trip.
Lomira does have some pretty big boys on the offensive line that create nice running lanes, but a lot of what Weninger does he creates on his own. He has very quick feet, and while he may not be the fastest running back speed-wise in the area, he has the best moves of anyone I've seen this year.
Imagine how good he'd be if Lomira had a balanced attack. The Lions tried one screen pass and Springs wasn't fooled. Only a handful of the runs were to the outside. Most of what he did, he did between the tackles and with about eight or nine Springs players within five yards.
I can only imagine a guy like Weninger at Mayville. Imagine where he'd fit in with that attack, running draws or screen passes.
But as is, he's had a very good season at Lomira. The Lions have their work cut out for them with games against Mayville and Horicon in the next few weeks. Lomira needs to win one if it wants to make the playoffs.
No matter what happens with the outcome of those games, I think its safe to say you won't find a better running back in this neck of the woods than John Weninger.
