CENTER LINE — There’s a lot of excitement surrounding Center Line football after winning the Macomb Area Conference Bronze league title in 2022, and freshman running back Masai Ali just gave fans a look at how explosive the offense can be this year.
Rushing for 220 yards and three touchdowns on just nine carries in a 34-0 win over Melvindale on Aug. 24 at Center Line High School, Ali has the Center Line offense feeling more confident than ever this year.
Freshman wideout Darius Wallace also tacked on a receiving touchdown in the win while junior quarterback Ethan Goralski scored on a 61-yard run.
Sophomore linebacker Avery Taylor will be a name to watch this year in the MAC Bronze, and he made his impact felt early as he collected seven tackles and two fumble recoveries in the win. Junior defensive tackle Chase Dowdell recorded six tackles in the win as well.
Center Line will have one of their toughest tests of the season in week two when they travel to the MAC Silver’s Madison Heights Lamphere on Aug. 31 in a MAC crossover game.
