The Whippet Football Team fell to McFarland 35-6 on Friday, September 6.

Coach Sam Bartlett stated, “This game was a situation where we got off the ball to attack very well; we just did not play disciplined football. We had penalties, turnovers, and other mistakes that held us back. The exciting part is that they are all things we can fix and that we will fix. Every day is a new opportunity to get better, and we will be a better team after facing off against McFarland. We are learning how to continuously compete every second of the game.

Offensively, it was our best game moving the ball, but untimely penalties and turnovers kept us from finding the end zone. We will correct those mistakes and become a team that finishes consistently in the end zone.

Defensively, we played hard and played a lot of the game very well. There was a coverage bust we will fix, and we were put in a bad position from a blocked punt. Overall, we will be a better team in Week 4 and look forward to the opportunity to keep competing!”
