Littleton 22 Wheatridge 57
The score doesn’t speak to how close this game really was in first half and how our game plan had us totally pumped up as a squad & the Farmers reeling. But, it does reflect this most difficult year - as the broken record keeps playing the same old song, again, and again. Two turnovers right before half resulted in a 21 point swing & best made plans out the window. What could have been a tie game or even a lead, turned into 36-14 halftime deficit. I am just sick that our seniors go out this way. They gave it all, yet again, in defeat. But, when perfection is the requirement to even compete, inexperience ensures imperfect outcomes. No matter hard we try, you just can't make up for the fact that many of our players are in their first year of football, let alone varsity starters. It takes more than 1 season, to gain the strength, game IQ, and just overall experience it takes to play this game at the scholastic varsity level. There is no short cut. Thus, our 2023 season crashes hard - yet again, at its merciless end…
