" This was our most complete game of the season. "
Once again our ground game took control from the start of the
contest. Our lineman (D.J.Thiel, Wade Hunt, and Franklin
Boyer-Sears) really did a nice job of taking care of the line of
scrimmage. Southeast was missing 2 key starters which helped our
cause as well. Our defense also had its best game of the season. We
held them under 50 yards in total offense. Hopefully, we are
playing up to our potential as we close out the season with a big
game this week against Parkview Christian."
Sterling's next contest is Oct. 19th vs Parkview Christian at home. Kickoff is at 7:00 p.m.
