First off.....UGLY GAME.
Id love to see these two on a dry good weather night.

People say the fog and wet field doesnt hurt an offense running the ball....well it does and it showed from the players not getting any traction tonight.

About the game, both teams offenses looked really bad. No bias here, our offense played poorer than they did against Russell County and Somerset also had an awful night on the offensive side of the ball. Had Whitley not fumbled a punt snap right before halftime then Somerset wouldnt have scored in this one, and had Somerset not turned the ball over 4 times, one a pick 6 by Bryant, i dont know that Whitley would have scored.

Overall, ill take the win, but i think both teams are scratching their head after this one. It was definitely a cleaner game than last year. I wont complain about the refs at all, they dont a good job on this one, but i will blame Whitley for having 45 motion, flase starts, and holding penalties.

To be honest, i dont know what to take away from this game. One side of me thinks it was just a hard fought defensive battle that was physical and a good game and another side of me thinks both teams didnt even know the rules of the game tonight.

But, a win is a win, and Whitley has already surpassed there win total of last year.
I wish Somerset nothing but the best and hope they win the 2A crown, hey, it only makes us look better in the end.
As for Whitley, the real season starts next week. We have to play better than this against Perry, and our defense has to play as good as they did tonight. All four games left in the regular season are winnable, and oh my how it would shock everyone if we went from 3-8 to district champions and a great season.


Cant wait to see the dismal stats for this one from both teams....
