Coming soon: team stats from the game.
The Panthers got off to a slow start as Lorain pulled several touchdowns ahead in the first half and the game was in danger of being a Bulldog runaway victory. With approximately 6 to 7 minutes to go in the 3rd quarter we had several storm delays and the Panthers had pulled to within two points trailing 32 to 30.
The Bulldogs were held scoreless in the second half by a stingy, hard hitting Panther defense. The offense came alive on hard running by the backs and a great passing game that included most if not all of the Panther receivers.
In my opinion this was a critical game for this group because of a disappointing season last year due to injuries to key players. This team needed to know that they are capable and good enough to play with and beat the opponents that they are matched up against this year.
But most of all....they needed to see that there is another intensity level that they can attain that will vault them into a championship calibre team. I saw this intensity level show itself for the second half of the Bulldog game and it became very evident that I was watching a team that had much more potential to do great things this season than I was at first willing to voice they could do.
GO PANTHERS!
You have exposed the potential, now live up to it.
