Whitley County is still looking for its first win of the season after falling to Harlan County, 42-18, on Friday.
The Colonels are currently 0-9 on the season.
“We had a hard time tackling [Brayden] Morris and [Jonah] Sharp at Harlan County Friday night,” said Whitley County Interim Head Coach JB Donahue. “[We] could not get in a good rhythm on offense.”
Whitley County freshman Braydan Rose threw the ball for 90 yards against the Black Bears. The team rushed for 33 yards.
On defense, the team had 8 tackles for loss and 37 solo tackles. In total, the team tallied 81 tackles.
Looking ahead to Oct. 30, the Colonels will take on Madison Southern at home. It will also be senior night.
“We had a couple of kids get banged up at Harlan County Friday night. We also have some sickness among the players, but these young men are showing up and going about their business,” said Donahue. “Madison Southern is a good football team. They are big and aggressive. We have a difficult task Friday night, but [we] plan on sending our seniors out well.”
When the two teams met last season, Whitley County lost 36-0.
