COUNCIL GROVE — The Chase County Bulldogs turned off the lights on Crest Friday night, defeating the Lancers 50-0.

Crest (1-1) couldn’t get anything going offensively, stalling out drives due to penalties and miscommunication. 

“We didn’t talk very much at all last night in terms of coverage and our containment was not good enough,” said Crest head coach Nick McAnulty. “We didn’t do our jobs and we were undisciplined. Inexperience is part of it and the pace of the game is sped up a little bit.”

Crest’s Rogan Weir started at quarterback and was the leading rusher, accounting for 19 yards on two carries. He also completed two-of-eight passes and threw for 56 yards. Denton Ramsey hauled in a team-high two receptions for 56 yards. 

“The biggest thing is, we’ve got to be more consistent and more aggressive. We would initiate contact but couldn’t hold a block,” McAnulty said. “We had some drives that would go but then a mistake like a holding penalty killed the drives.”

Crest travels to Oswego on Friday at 7 p.m.
