Wyalusing (1-3) will head south to take on South Williamsport (1-3) with a 7 p.m. kick-off Friday.
The Rams are looking to bounce back from their second straight close loss, while the Mounties are 0-2 in their last two games, as well.
“We have gone back to work this week, and look forward to competing against South Williamsport,” said Wyalusing coach Rich Rogers. “I have great respect for coach Eiswerth, his teams are always well coached, play physical but with class and discipline. We will need to bring our best this Friday.”
KEYS TO THE GAME
Wyalusing - Find a way to sustain drives. For the second week in a row they were able to move the ball some, but not enough to put points up on the scoreboard. While they didn’t have any turnovers against Montgomery, they did fumble seven times, getting them off schedule.
South Williamsport - Watch for the big play. Wyalusing might be a ground and pound team at heart, but they’re at their best when they lull opponents into a constant rhythm of runs then hit them with a big play to Andrew Taylor.
PLAYERS TO WATCH
Jesse Lamb, Wyalusing, DE/OL - Lamb will need to have a good game if they’re going to stop the South Williamsport rushing attack. He is capable of making plays negative yardage plays on the defensive line.
Cole Gerber, South Williamsport, QB - While South is known for their rushing attack, Gerber has shown he fling it, and could take advantage of the Rams if they pack the box.
