They didn't need it. We had no answer for their run game. They ran the same play 100 times and we couldn't stop it. We couldn't make a backside tackle to save our lives. Credit to their RB. That was the st physical team we have seen, maybe in the last 5 years. Brutal. The fact that the defense only gave up 27 points, is amazing to me bc they were on the field all damn night. Offensively it was over before it started with the pick 6. Damon was rattled from that moment on. The kids fought back in a game that I expected us to lose, coming out of half time, bc we were lost as an offense. Now, in the second half we managed to bust a few long plays and that throw and catch from Damon to Judd in the back of the endzone was beautiful. But there were 2 td passes dropped, Damon through a great ball both times, but they couldnt hold on to it. Fumbled inside the redzone twice and The defense was on the field too long tonight. Not their fault, they made PW earn their keep and didn't give up a big play, but the offense couldn't stay on the field. And yet again, we are looking at a game come down to the wire, that we have lost by a TD or less. That's 4 games 3 years decided in the final 2 minutes that we couldn't win. Something has to give. We run the same plays over and over and if a team is physical w us, we r going to struggle. Just really disappointed in this loss. The kids battled but I feel like there is a hurdle, that as a system, we can't over come. Should have would have could have won this game. But Port West made more plays than we did when it counted most. Onward and upward. No room or time to sulk. The bunnies are coming to town next week.

Somerset is another physical team coming in. They got some dang good run defense. I'm interested in seeing if that 4 hour bus ride puts some damper on it. I'm eager to see How Raceland responds.
