PLEASANTON — Marmaton Valley Junior High head coach Dan Uhlrich is eager to see his Wildcats go through a full week of focused practicing.
There will be plenty to work on, he acknowledged, after the Wildcats fell, 70-22, to host Pleasanton Thursday.
“The Wildcats had a hard time of stopping Pleasanton’s offense,” Uhlrich said, noting Pleasanton scored 52 of its 70 points through the air.
“We played much better last week as a team,” he said. “There were a couple of individual efforts that stood out, but as a team, we made way too many mistakes. It was disappointing to see how many mental mistakes were made.”
Uhlrich singled out Braydon Lawson, “who played really well,” with two touchdowns. Dierks Kegler also scored a touchdown run for Marmaton Valley.
The Wildcats will take on Yates Center next week for the second time this season. Marmaton Valley fell, 20-14, three weeks ago.
“We will see where we are in regards to improvement from that time frame,” Uhlrich said.
