Coach Bartlett commented, “The Homecoming day and night were filled with a lot of fun and excitement. The game ultimately did not go our way, but there were a lot of positives and firsts for some of our players. Our defense played well for a lot of the downs, but a few key lapses on fourth downs allowed Jefferson to score. Jefferson was prepared to battle through the adversity of those three 4th down scores they had. Ultimately, we made them work for the points they scored. Offensively, for much of the game, we could not get the ball moving. Ty Bucholtz stepped in at Quarterback and did an amazing job of helping us get moving through the air. He threw his first two Varsity touchdowns in the game! Another first was for Senior WR/RB Connor Friend who scored his first Varsity touchdown in the game. We were able to finish the game on a positive note with those scores. We look forward to competing at Edgerton this upcoming Friday!”
