So proud of these Blackcats! You can’t choose your district or how strong they are, year in and year out. Winning district games is something they’ve not been able to do prior to this year. Winning games no matter the opponent is the first step towards getting the community invested into the program again. This West Carter team is a team that PBurg has NEVER beat, so you take these Ws.

As for this game, I thought it was great to see #71 Nick Porter back out there. Obviously not at 100%, but his 75% is better than a lot of peoples 100%. The running game looked better than it did against Valley and it’s in part due to having 71 lead the way. Ethan Jarvis was his usual solid self as he continues to pace 2A.

On defense, I thought the pass rush was much better this game. West Carter had no answer for 54 Gavin Stephens. The senior edge defender racked up 5 sacks in this one. 35 Brayden Goble and 44 Logan Stumbo also played very solid games. 12 Jacob Jarrell also contributed to putting some pressure on the WC QB.

Hats off to West Carter for playing this game as I don’t know if I could’ve given the circumstances.

I pray for healing and comfort for them. I also will be rooting for them the rest of the way.
