Whippet Football hosted Clinton on Friday, August 30, and fell 28-6.
Coach Sam Bartlett stated, “Our game against Clinton did not go the way we wanted it to. They came ready to play physically and mentally. I’d like to give a shout-out to Darin Wecker for getting his guys ready to play.
We just could not get the ball moving on the ground. We had some success in the air throwing the ball for 165 and a touchdown. Matthew Carollo and Ty Hagedorn stepped up to give us some movement on offense through the air.
Defensively we need to do a better job of wrapping and driving on our tackles. They ran hard the entire night and were able to break tackles. In the back field we will do a better job of reading our keys. Overall, there is a ton for us to learn and get better at.
I still have all the faith in my team that we will improve throughout the season. We will not be the same team week 1 as we will be at the end of the season. I look forward to bouncing back and competing against McFarland which will be a battle we are looking forward to playing in.”
Key Stats:
Matthew Carollo 10 of 21 for 165 yards, 1TD, 1INT
Ty Hagedorn 3 catches for 73 yards, 1 TD
