Tekamah-Herman loses at Stanton












It was another tough night for the Tekamah-Herman Tigers Friday night as they lost 60-0 at Stanton.

The Mustangs led 34-0 at the end of the first quarter and 48-0 at halftime.

Stanton added 12 third quarter points to lead 60-0 at the end of three. Neither team scored in the fourth quarter.

The Tigers surrendered 411 yards of offense, including 361 on the ground.

It definitely wasn't the type of game Tekamah-Herman was hoping for. I'm sure the Tigers would have liked to have been more competitive, but given their injury situation it was probably asking too much.

Tekamah-Herman (0-4) hosts Fremont Bergan (3-1) Friday night.

Fremont Bergan beat Elmwood-Murdock 29-19 last time out, but Bergan hasn't really been anyone of quality so far this season.

I think this would be a much more competitive game if the Tigers weren't so banged up, but I'm afraid Tekamah-Herman could be in for another long night.

I could be wrong, and I hope I am, but the Tigers have had the worst luck this season.

There's not a whole lot Tekamah-Herman can do except continue to fight and gain experience.

These players have to keep working their tails off, and do everything they can to improve.

The Tigers can't give up no matter what happens. Even if Tekamah-Herman gets down big early and trails big late, they have to continue to play hard.

The Tigers have to be physical at the line of scrimmage, and do what they can to get their run game going while slowing down the Knights' offense.

Tekamah-Herman has to take care of the ball and limit turnovers. The Tigers can't afford to give Bergan easy points.

It's asking a lot for Tekamah-Herman to win, but they have to believe they can get the job done. If the Tigers go into this game thinking they are going to lose, then they will.

It's all about attitude and mentality at this point for Tekamah-Herman.

I think the Tigers have a chance to be more competitive than they were against Stanton so we'll see if Tekamah-Herman fares any better this week.
