September 9, 2016
After last week’s thrashing of Glendale 48-6, improving their record to 1-1, the Bellwood-Antis Blue Devils look to continue building momentum tonight as they travel to Claysburg to take on the Claysburg-Kimmel Bulldogs.
C-K feel to 0-2 last week, losing to Williamsburg 46-7.
It is very important for B-A to take the bulldogs seriously.
Senior Ethan McGee said it comes down to a quick start.
“We need to come out, and smack them in the mouth from the beginning,” he said. “We’re looking for a fast start.”
The Blue Devils can’t afford to take any steps back this week as they still look to establish a more consistent running attack, although last week against Glendale was much improved from the opening game against Tyrone.
