WELLSVILLE — Iola High’s junior varsity struggled offensively in the wind and rain Monday, falling to host Wellsville High, 28-0.
“As an offensive unit, we just need to do a better job of knowing our assignments and executing the play by making blocks, running where we are supposed to go, and catching passes,” JV head coach Dana Daugharthy said. “We just could not get into rhythm all game.
“Defensively, we played pretty well last night, especially considering the fact the defense was on the field for a large portion of the game,” he continued. “It was probably one of our best tackling games that we have had all season. If we take away a couple of plays where our defense had some mental lapses, then we are right in that game.”
Daugharthy noted Iola’s freshmen scrimmaged against many of the same Wellsville players Thursday, and fell 52-16.
Statistics from Monday’s loss were unavailable.
The junior varsity hosts Chanute Monday.
