Boylan grinds out 454 rushing yards to beat Harlem, grab NIC-10 title.

MACHESNEY PARK — Harlem likes to start out east or west, then break its runs north.

Boylan keeps it simpler.

“I never try to go east and west. Always north,” Boylan fullback Matt McCrudden said.

Simpler proved better on a muddy field as Boylan steamrolled Harlem 40-14 Friday night in a battle of NIC-10 unbeatens to win its third consecutive conference title.

Harlem (8-1) had trouble with the slick field all night.

“It was highly impossible,” tight end Casey Beck said. “Every time I tried to make a cut, I’d slip.”
