Westhills Wolfpack 35 Patriots 21

The Patriots encountered their first loss of the season at Westhills High School losing 35 - 21 to the Wolfpack.

The beginning of the game was a back and forth affair and it looked like neither offense was going to be stopped.  Westhills took the opening drive in for a TD.  Our Patriots responded with a TD drive of their own with Cruz Samniego throwing a pass to Kage Nygaard.

Westhills took the next drive in for another TD.  Johnny Bergum took the ensuing kickoff 65 yards for a TD.  Josh Pelloquin capped off the drive with a two conversion.

Westhills' offense continued their pace while the Patriots suffered from mental lapses in their execution.  But they never quit and they were able to compete to the very last whistle.  Tyree Range capped off the scoring with a 24 yard run with 1:34 left in the game.

After the game, I spoke to our players and told them this is the type of competition we should expect from the Eastern League.  The rest of our games are going to be as tough or tougher than the game against Westhills.

WE have work to do as a coaching staff and as players.  We will take advantage of this week to prepare for our first Eastern League game against Cathedral Catholic.
