The GHS Boys Football team were in the hurt locker this last Friday, Oct. 11th against Bridgewater/Emery/Ethan. They lost with a score of 0-44. Bridgewater was undefeated going into their game with the Blue Dragons and the dragons got smashed badly.
“This one was pretty painful,” said Coach Long. “We talked about having to get off to a good, solid start against BEE and we did not do that allowing the first kickoff the game to be returned for a touchdown. We gave them a short field on a botched punt and at that point I thought our effort overall started to wane a bit. Adversity happens, you have to respond to that positively and we didn’t do that across the board.”
Reviewing the film post game Coach Long said, “Anytime you look at film you never play as good as you think and you never played as poorly as you think. We did some things pretty well at times against a good football team. It’s a challenge to play against an experienced team, we need to do a better job of reacting to that opportunity favorably.”
Garretson (3-4) will face off against Sioux Valley (4-3) this Friday out at Volga. The good news is that as of this printing Garretson is 13th seed and will still be going to the playoffs.
