Emerson-Hubbard falls at home to Wausa

The Emerson-Hubbard Football team lost 48-22 at home to Wausa Friday night.

The Pirates gave up 374 yards of total offense, 256 coming on the ground.

I thought Emerson-Hubbard would keep things much closer in this game than they did. Tough break for the Pirates.

Emerson-Hubbard (1-3) takes on Winside (2-2) on the road Friday night.

The Wildcats lost 44-14 at home to Randolph last time out.

Winside is a much improved team, and better than they were last year, in my opinion.

The Wildcats beat Scribner-Snyder 56-34 while the Pirates downed the Trojans 39-0.

I look for Emerson-Hubbard to win this game, but I don't think it's going to be easy.

The Pirates have to come ready to play, and must play better than they did against the Vikings.

Emerson-Hubbard has to raise their level of play and be better than they have been.

The Pirates must win at least a couple more games to make the playoffs, but even that might not be enough.

Regardless, this is a must win game for Emerson-Hubbard.

If the Pirates don't win this game I don't see there being any way they make the playoffs.

It's going to be a struggle just to make the postseason at this point, but that's not to say it can't happen.

Emerson-Hubbard has to find a way to make plays and create their own momentum Friday night.

The Pirates have to come out ready to hit hard and take it to the Wildcats for four quarters.

Emerson-Hubbard has to forget about what happened in the Wausa game. The Pirates have to be over that loss by now.

Emerson-Hubbard just has to be ready to go the rest of the way. The Pirates haven't had the usual success this year that they've been accustomed to in recent years, but the season is only halfway over.

If Emerson-Hubbard can start 1-3 perhaps they can finish 3-1.

The Pirates' backs are against the wall right now so we will see how Emerson-Hubbard responds, and how they fare in this contest.
