Growing pains

It was a very interesting day. With the bus breaking down countless number of times turning the trip from a 6 hour trip into an 8 and a half trip getting to the stadium its like we were against all odds . So when push comes to shove we just didn't come out on top but this was really a game to feel ourselves out and see what we have. SO starting with the offense the player who really impressed is widereciever Larry Wingfield he is a heck of an athlete and is quick as lightning he also has a very good step off the line and had 2 catches for 55 yards hes very athletic and has hands of velcro you rarely see him drop a pass even in practice. NOt only does he catch but he blocks .when it is all said and done i believe he will be our breakout player of the year and a top 5 reciever. We gave up 2 total sacks on the night and have to clean up some of the mental mistakes like 4 penalties for a total of 30 yards. Also in the receiving corp you had Raynard Felton with 3 catches for 25 yards one of his catches he climb the ladder jumped up and caught the ball at the highest point a very athletic play on his part. In other news Darryl Campbell had a catch for 6 yards, Tevin Richardson 1 catch for 8 yards. I also saw some flashes of a really good reciever from Widereciever Kenneth Cowan who also had 1 catch for 8 yards. Our runningbacks were also pretty constisent their stats are as follows Darryl Campbell 8 rushes for 12 yards. THE Quarterbacks combined for 9 for 21 with 7 interceptions for 116 yards. What i would call an ok performance they just made a couple of mental mistakes that i know will be corrected in due time. OUr defense played consistent in giving the team a chance to win and i was also very impressed with the defensive line and their control of the trenches and in getting up field to pressure the quarterback this unit was the best offensive or defensive unit of the game. There was also 3 sacks on the night which included Quincy Glover, Carlton Williams who also nearly had a pic ,And Aaron MCcullah. We also have to get better at special teams we were inconsistent i liked the blocked kicks but then we gave up a kickoff return for a touchdown i know that will be fixed with practice though.

GAME SUMMARY:
This was a very capable win iall ELY really did was run their QB and there recievers had butterfingers couldn't catch a cold dropped everything that came there way their defense was straight but if we were in a rhythm we would've whooped them bad. BUT HEY IT IS WHAT IT IS lets move on regroup and show the wolfpack what True trojans are all about . Its just preseason state championship here we come. DO YOU BELIEVE ?
Offensive player of the game: Larry Wingfield
defensive player of the game : Carlton Williams
