Last Friday, October 2, the Wellsville Tiger Football Team lost 13-6 at Berlin Western-Reserve. It was a heart breaking lost with the Tigers fighting until the end. With a Bubba Dowling pass just inches off the mark late in the 4th quarter the final result could have been much different. You certainly can not say the Tigers gave up. They just ran out of clock.
Undefeated Western-Reserve came out and scored twice in the 1st quarter. From then on until early in the 4th quarter it was all defense. Going 90 yards with 11 plays the Tigers got on the board with 11:07 remaining in the game. Wellsville had the momentum going in their favor later on but just couldn't connect with that pass. They had to turn the ball over and Western-Reserve took the knee to end the game and thank the Good Lord they got out that game alive.
Statistically the Tigers won the game with picking up 263 total yards to the Devil's 120. They had 187 of those yards rushing with fleet footed Jeremy Carter running for 143 of those. Wellsville had 13 first downs compared to Western-Reserve's eight. As Coach Skinner was quoted in the newspaper they "just kept battling". Although not the score we were hoping for it was a good game.
Wellsville returns home this Friday to take on Leetonia. That's always a good game and as the Western-Reserve coach said "they're not going to lose another game".
