West Ranch Wildcats 47, Grace Bretheren Lancers 6
This game was a milestone for many reasons. First, it marks the most points we have scored this year. Second, it was our first away game.
But most importantly, it was the last game before we enter the Foothill league.
The game itself was sort of a runaway, as you can tell from the score. On offense, we had one drive that did not end in a touchdown, and that was a hurry-up drive to try and get some quick points on the board at the end of the half. Every other time we had the ball on offense, we scored. We were able to run the ball more or less at will, and our pass attack finally managed to get something going. I am happy to report we are not as one-dimensional as were used to be.
Defensively, we held firm, though a series of questionable penalites and just plain weird officiating kept the Lancers alive to score their only points. We know we have a few things to work on for Foothill, but we are solid here.
Special teams continue to dominate (though we did not use punt) as we keep making good things happen in the kicking game.
We were able to play many more players than we ever have and get them some significant playing time. With over sixty players, this is no small feat.
Overall, midway through the season, I am pleased with our performance. We have played well and our players seem to have the enthusiasm and fire they need to compete in this most challenging of leagues. As I told the boys, though...everything moves up a notch in the weeks to come,
Next week: Saugus!
