“The guys fought hard all game,” West Bladen Coach Preston Worley said. “The offense really took off tonight. Our backs ran hard and we rode them all night behind our offensive line. Tonight was a great first win of the season, but we have to get better on both sides of the ball and get ready for Heide Trask next week.”
West Bladen will go to Rocky Point Friday to take on the Titans of Heide Trask (1-2). West Columbus, now 0-3 on the season, will play Sandhills.
