In a Loss, Shamokin Found Some "D"
As losses pile up, it gets harder and harder to get a team to play hard the following week. In Friday's homecoming game against Selinsgrove, Shamokin had a brutal time moving the football against the Seals with under 100 total yards and no touchdowns.
Selinsgrove amassed 223 yards and two touchdowns for a 14-7 win. Inside the number, 182 yards came on 3 plays. The Seals managed only 41 yards the rest of the way. In the second half, I did watch a defense that had the confidence to win the game by scoring another touchdown or forcing a turnover.
The Indians go on the road to Loyalsock and Milton in the next two weeks and are home against Montoursville. These games are winnable before the final 3 games against Danville, Shik, and Mount Carmel.
In a loss, it is still nice to see someone play with pride and determination.
