The Hedley Owls travelled to White Deer and were beaten 56 to 6, last Friday, October 4th. With such a lopsided score, it’s best to say that some days just aren’t meant to be our day. Last Friday wasn’t a night to be flying around, especially when White Deer was celebrating their homecoming, and highly motivated to get their first win of the season.
According to Coach Shely, Hedley got dominated after the first quarter, in all aspects of the game.
The Owls lost three fumbles and were unable to effectively rush the football. They were limited to 61 yards on the ground, with one touchdown – scored by Rooster Moore. He also carried the ball 14 times for 73 yards. Seth Ruthardt added 11 yards rushing on 4 carries.
On defense, the Owls continued their swarming, aggressive style of play. Denver Chambless had one solo tackle, with one assist. Seth Ruthardt contributed one solo tackle and eight assists, while Jake Owens made his presence felt with a solo tackle and five assists. Arden Haught added a solo tackle and four assists, and Kyle Lindsey contributed a solo tackle and three assists. Klaiton (Rooster) Moore added three solo tackles and five assists to the Owls’ defensive effort.
The Owls begin district play by traveling to Kress this Friday, October 11. Kickoff is 7:30. It may be the last “warm” game of the season.
