Last Friday, Sept 25th was a rough game for the GHS Blue Dragon Football team.
After a solid first half where the Dragons were tied dead even at 14-14 with McCook Central-Montrose, things took a nasty turn.
“This week was the best we have played at certain times of the game,” said Head Coach Chris Long. “We were tied at halftime and had the ball the second half with an opportunity to take the lead. We just made too many mistakes, especially the second half in regards to turnovers.”
It also doesn’t help that the fellas were facing an uphill battle, with MCM having a reserve player to come in the game fresh for offense and defense, while for the Blue Dragons it’s a test of endurance to stay in the game.
“They (MCM) have a deep squad, basically they only have a couple guys that play on both sides of the ball,” said Coach Long. “We basically play the same 11-13 players the entire game, that combined with their up-tempo offense really took its toll on us the second half. We have to try and improve in some areas this week and go to Elk Point Friday and get a win.”
Final Score was McCook Central-Montrose 48, Garretson 17.
The Blue Dragons travel to Elk Point on Friday, Oct. 2.
