Whippet Football Opens Against Big Foot
The Whippets opened their football season against Big Foot on Friday, August 23. The final score was Big Foot 7, Whitewater 6. Coach Sam Bartlett commented, “The game was a hard fought, physical contest with both teams pounding the ball downhill in the run game. We battled the entire time, and I am so proud of everything the kids did out there. We put together a great drive and scored on a short run by Traysen Thomason to put up a score. Defensively we played extremely well, not giving up a single point. The lone score came on special teams which we will get better at. Ultimately the game came down to holding onto the football. Big Foot had one lone turnover, and we gave them the ball three times. It is hard to win games when giving up the ball. We will improve on that part of the game. The biggest thing I was proud of is the kids never gave up and fought until the final whistle. We made mistakes but we did not have a lack of effort out there. They exemplified the ACE standards we strive to live out in everything we do. I have no doubts that by the end of the season we can be a team that is playing a week 10 if we keep improving and play for each other!”
