I went to it of course ESC it was a good ride. At least 2.5 hrs to and back from there but it was an enjoyable trip. Got to see Davidson county and Rowan/Stanly county well. Seen East Rowan and the other Stanly schools for the first time, not bad.
As for the game the rain hurt us more than West Stanly did overall. It was fine until about 7 and didn't quit minus a short break at halfitme. It's a shame because if it stayed clear it wouldn't have been so sloppy. Nice looking stadium and I loved how you can literally walk onto the field from the fieldhouse. Wish more places around here did that.
West was so determined to play and I can see why they figured the rain would slow us down and to a point it did but it hurt them twice as much. We could have probably gotten 40+ on offense if it wasn't raining but to win the way we did was just as rewarding. That RB they had couldn't do anything as we were relentless twords him and the QB (whoever it was,) the rain didn't help either. Their first play we tackled the RB for a solid loss and that set the tone early when we needed to. We played with a ton of heart and it was a fun watch. We got plenty of room for improvement as does all teams but that was a fun end to the first half of the year. Next year's game at North should be as good. But props to West that RB is a tough kid to take the hits we delivered, get up, and go back in after he was hurt that earned my respect. Their coach is doing a fine job there too.
Looking forward to conference play.
