After last week’s loss against Glenwood Coach Hunter stated “We have to be special on special teams and hopefully we come out tonight improved in that area. We talked about once you get up you can’t relax any more than what we did last week and loss.

The Valley Rams lost to the Glenwood Gators, 21-20.

“We want to bounce back for our home opener tonight,” said Coach Hunter.

“Smith Station runs a lot of stuff you don’t see anymore, so we got to play really well on defense and take care of our responsibilities. It’s just really hard to mimic them in practice because they bring something nobody else runs anymore. So we just got to get active with offense and we got to control the game a little bit. Win first down that’s going to be big for us.”

With two minutes left on the clock, an interception by the Rams made the Panthers unable to score.

Coach Hunter “Our kids came back ready to work after Glenwood, they were in the film room, working out in the weight room. I didn’t have to say a lot it hurts them, you can see it in their eyes. But they came to work this week and it was really hot this week. Our kids bounce back well and we were really proud of that!”

The Rams are set to play Central of Clay County on Friday
