The BRLD Football team lost their season opener on Friday, falling 42-6 at Hartington Cedar Catholic.
It was definitely a difficult season opening loss for the Wolverines. I expected BRLD to compete than they did quite honestly.
The Wolverines (0-1) look to rebound Friday night when they take on Crofton (1-0) on the road.
The defending Class C-2 Runner-Up Warriors won 21-0 at Wisner-Pilger this past Friday night.
That's a win, but not a dominant win. I look for BRLD to compete better this Friday than they did last week.
I don't know if the Wolverines will win, but I think BRLD can be much more competitive against Crofton than they were Hartington Cedar Catholic.
The Wolverines just simply have to be better offensively and defensively than they were against the Trojans.
The Warriors are known for their power run game so BRLD has to be ready to match Crofton's physicality, and must be able to run the ball as well as stop the run.
The Wolverines have to step things up and forget about last week. The past is the past, and all BRLD can do now is move forward and improve.
The Hartington Cedar Catholic loss was no doubt disappointing and demoralizing, but the Wolverines have to pick themselves up and find a way to bounce back.
No one is going to feel sorry for BRLD so the only people that can change the Wolverines' fortunes is those a part of the program.
It's only the second week of the season and definitely not the time to panic, but BRLD needs to up their level of play significantly if they want to get back on track and not go on to have a disappointing 2017 campaign.
The schedule is very difficult to start off with so the Wolverines are definitely getting tested early and often to say the least.
I think these tough games and this tough schedule will only make BRLD a stronger team down the line.
You would of liked to have seen the Wolverines compete at a higher level and keep things closer with the Trojans, but I think things will only get better for BRLD from here on out.
