This one hurt bad.
“Friday’s game vs. Sioux Valley kinda was a perfect storm for us,” said Coach Chris Long. “We allowed another big play in special teams to start the game, turned the ball over twice and didn’t convert on a 4th and 1.”
“All of those Sioux Valley turned into touchdowns and before you know it we’re down by over 30 at the half. It’s hard to mentally come back from that, but that’s the challenge for us. We have to make a few plays ourselves to stem those momentum swings.”
“We are currently going on 10 quarters without a score. We need to just execute early and get the ball in the endzone, then maybe we can relax and play a bit better football.”
“Making the playoffs is the goal every season. Although we’d like to be going into the playoffs with a little more momentum, we have the chance to go to Mobridge-Pollock and complete. They have a good football team but I have confidence that we will be ready to go and give ourselves a chance in the ballgame.”
Garretson 3-5, travels to Mobridge-Pollock for a 6pm game time tonight, on Thursday Oct. 24.
