Noah Sheil's Aerial Masterclass Propels Fenton to Dominant League Opener Victory

FENTON, MI – The roar of the Fenton Tigers was undeniable Friday night as they stormed into their Flint Metro League (FML) opener, delivering a resounding 41-12 defeat to the Flushing Raiders. Quarterback Noah Sheil was the orchestrator of an aerial masterclass, lighting up the scoreboard with four dazzling touchdown passes, propelling Fenton to maintain its unblemished 3-0 record.

From the opening whistle, it was clear that the Tigers meant business.

Sheil, displaying remarkable precision and poise, completed 13 of 16 passes for a whopping 276 yards. His chemistry with his receiving corps was electrifying, turning every deep ball into a potential scoring opportunity.

The first strike came early in the first quarter when Sheil connected with Logan Angel on a spectacular 29-yard touchdown pass, setting the tone for the night.

Angel wasn't done, later hauling in another 6-yard pass from Sheil for his second touchdown of the game. Chase Haden also got in on the action, snatching a 32-yard touchdown pass, while Andrew Penzen added to the aerial assault with a 15-yard scoring reception, showcasing the depth of Fenton’s receiving talent.

But it wasn’t just the passing game that left Flushing reeling.

Running back Tyler Baker provided a relentless ground attack, chewing up 120 yards on 12 carries, including a powerful 12-yard touchdown run. This balanced offensive onslaught amassed an impressive 457 total yards – 304 through the air and 153 on the ground – leaving the Raiders’ defense scrambling for answers.

Fenton's defense proved equally formidable, stifling Flushing at every turn.

They held the Raiders to a mere 157 total yards, demonstrating a complete team effort that underscored their dominance. Head Coach Austin Sullwold’s squad executed their game plan flawlessly, showcasing both offensive firepower and defensive grit.

This commanding victory marks Fenton’s first in FML play, positioning them perfectly for a strong league run.

As the Tigers celebrate their 3-0 start, the Flushing Raiders, now at 1-2 overall and 0-1 in the FML, will look to regroup. Next up, Fenton will host Swartz Creek, while Flushing prepares to face Owosso, both aiming to build on or bounce back from their Week 3 performances. For Fenton, the message is clear: the Tigers are here to dominate, and Noah Sheil is leading the charge.
