Not sure what game you watched. Yes, the first half was close, which isn’t surprising versus this NW team. That said, Loudonville got some lucky breaks that first half.
After that though, Loudonville only scored once in the second half and it was their starters against our second team JV and non-playing freshman. Not something to be proud of.
NW played an average game at best and still won by 21. You could see it in our play that their heads werent totally in it. In the first half our O-Line and defense were lazy but came out to play after half and opened it up.
it was very obvious who was the better team, despite the commotion caused by announcers at every Loudonville first down and lack luster calling every other play of the game.
We had another rough game in regards to penalties. If we can sure that up, the first few playoff games shouldn’t be an issue. We will see though. You never know in HS football, especially this year. I truly believe though, with a week off, DeMarco will have our boys as ready as possible. Also, if Mick can get those passes to the side lines nailed down like they had the first 4 weeks, we could be very dangerous.
all of that said, was there any specific reason or injury that caused our O-line to have some issues along with the DBs on passing plays? Seemed like we were outstanding on pass plays within the red zone, but outside of it, we struggled more than I would like to see.
