Petersburg took the first punch in the second quarter, then the Cougars delivered the knock out blow scoring 26 unanswered points displacing the Vikings 26-6 at Yellow Jacket Field in Moorefield during the regular season finale last Friday to secure a spot in the state playoffs.
“I am very excited. It’s the East Hardy way, an East Hardy tradition. I don’t know what it is about Baker, but we always have tremendous athletes. If we can stay healthy, we can be dangerous. The one guy who hasn’t received much recognition for our uptick in offense is Christian Dove. He’s not the biggest guy, but his heart is and he plays at another level. I told him to find his playmakers tonight and he did just that tonight finding Brayden Ritchie, Andy Tharp who made a great catch on the sidelines and Noah Lang. Alex Miller is our work-horse and coming out in the second half I told him he is going to win us the ballgame, we were feeding him the ball. He deserves a lot of recognition for that. We’ve got to start winning the field position battle earlier in games and not getting behind the eight ball. When they are at our 20 or 30 yard line, they are bound to find the end zone and hats off to our defense tonight,” East Hardy coach Devon Orndorff commented.
