Panther Turnovers Costly in Loss at Badger
Defense Stellar in 14-0 Loss
The Wilmot offense outgained Badger in rushing yards, passing yards, and total yards.
The Wilmot defense pressured Badger all night long, and held them to just seven points.
However, the Panthers lost 6 fumbles, threw an interception, and had 2 TDs called back on penalties.
Coach Keiya Square was quick to credit his defense, “You know, they played phenomenal. For them to realistically give up seven points, they held a good offensive team down for the whole game. ”
As far as the six fumbles, Coach Square said ball-security is something they can work on. “We have to get back into practice, watch the film, see what is happening, if we’re holding the ball too loose, or what we were doing there, but even when you lose 14-0, and have 6 turnovers and two touchdowns called back, that’s a lot of self-inflicted stuff. So we’ve got to watch the film and go from there,” Square said.
Panther running back, Leo Falletti, led all players with 98 yards rushing.
Wilmot is scheduled to host Waterford at 7pm Friday night.
