After getting over some early game jitters the players from both the WHS Tigers & the Southern Local Indians settled down to play a good game. Although the Indians put up a valiant struggle in the end the Tigers proved to be just too much for them to handle.
In a game that had nine fumbles between the two teams the Tigers held on to take home a 20 - 0 victory. The defense stifled the Indians holding them to just 45 yards total for the night. The Tigers rolled up a total of 290 yards with 247 of them on the ground. The offense was changed up a bit but it appeared that the "Power I" worked well for them again. Jeremy Carter once again took the honors picking up 185 yards and three touch downs. It was all made possible with some stellar blocking by the offensive line and his fellow backs opening up some great running lanes. Carter even completed a 34 yard pass along with Bubba Dowling completing one for a nine yard gain. DeShon Pullie was on the receiving end of both passes picking up all of the 43 yards Wellsville had through the air. Carter had 94 yards on a heads up play recovering a fumble and taking it 94 yards to score the final TD.
Wellsville now goes on the road for the next two games. This week they travel to McDonald and the week after that to Western Reserve. They return home October 9.

Good job players and coaching staff. Good luck at McDonald this week. GO TIGERS......
I couldn't help but watch the cheerleaders at the game. They didn't have much pep or spirit. The are the ones that are supposed to get the crowd involved in supporting the team by cheering. I think they need to get some more lessons. The cheerleaders years ago had pep and spirit. They made the crowd want to support the team by cheering. These girls need to wake up and liven up the crowd, that is what they were chosen to do as cheerleaders.
Come on...give me a break. For crying out loud, the game was vs. Southern! If you paid any attention the fans were dressed in all kinds of colorful costumes & were quite vocal cheering on the Tigers. Top that with being a relatively close game until Carter seal the win in the 4th Qtr. maybe the ladies were interested in what was going on. In any case their job of getting the crowd into the game was a no brainer for that game. Did you happen to notice their eager, enthusiastic participation in the half-time show?
