Game of the Week - Game of the Week - Varnado (0-3) at Ben Franklin (0-3) The Wildcats lost a close, tough rivalry game last week against Bogalusa. They will be looking to take their frustrations out on Ben Franklin who has struggled this season losing big in all three of their games.
The Wildcats will have to battle depth issues as Franklin is bigger but the Wildcats of Varnado will be up to the challenge. As usual which ever team can run the ball and stop the run on defense will have the upper hand in this game.
Should be a good one!
Notes and Quotes
"It is always great to beat your rival. Incredible crowd and truly amazing for the people of Washington Parish. You always want to see improvement from your team and we are seeing that. We can still improve and will need to in order to get to December. Kerston, Jayden, Chakyn, Ricardo and Steven are all playing at a different level. Defensively we are improving but our tackling has to be improved."
---- Franklinton coach Nick Saltaformaggio
"Franklinton has a really good team. They made some plays early and we had some mistakes that put us in a hole. I think after the first quarter we played much better but never were able to get back in it. I like our football team and I like where we are headed."
----Pine coach Bradley Seal
"Rivalry games are always tough and both teams played extremely hard. It was a game that could've gone either way. Down the stretch, Bogalusa made some great p[layes and was able to come out on top. In the end, both teams left everything on the field and I'm proud of the way our kids competed.
----Varnado coach Vonta Owens
"Good win last night. At first, we had some adversity with offense but the guys kept playing and got it rolling so I like seeing that. Defense played very good. It was our homecoming so the atmosphere was great. Just a good win for our football team and coaches."
----- Bowling Grean coach Dean King
"The story of the night was that we couldn't get out of our own way. We had three turnovers in the first half that was the difference in the ball game. Defensively, we had too many missed tackles and blown coverages. When you play a team that is as well coached and disciplined as Christ Covenant you cannot make those mistakes because when you do, they will expose you. Now, we prepare to go play the best team in eight man football in River Oaks school. It will be a test of us not beating ourselves so we can be in the ball game."
---- Bens Ford coach Destin Pittman
