Michael, a sophomore wide receiver from Appleton, caught 15 passes for 279 yards and three touchdowns. In the process, he broke the school records for receptions in a game (the previous record was 14 by Sal Cianciola vs. Ripon in 1953) and receiving yards in a game (the previous record was 241 by Ron Wopat vs. Beloit in 1976). Michael’s 96-yard touchdown catch in the fourth quarter also broke the record for the longest touchdown play from scrimmage in school history. Michael now has 55 catches for 910 yards and 10 touchdowns this season.
