The rain held off just long enough for the Jr. Barons to take on the Schoenals Titans on Sept. 29 at Armstrong Field.
The Titans proved too much for the Barons right from the start, jumping to a 14-0 lead by the end of the first quarter.
Although the offense struggled, they occasionally gave quarterback Joe Kelly some operating time. This led to a few big plays throughout the game, including a touchdown run.
On the defensive side of the ball, strong tackling prevented the score from being significantly worse.
Kieran Link, who oversees the junior and senior Barons’ football programs, had this to say about the game.
“Defensively, the Junior Barons need to continue to work on pursuit and tackling angles to stop the perimeter run game. On offense, the players need to continue to work on executing and sustaining their blocks in the pass and run game,” stated Link. “Offensively, Joe Kelly ran for a touchdown, and the defense was led by Isaiah Wiens, who made several solid plays.”
He said the coaches will work hard this week to get players moving faster before their next game. The Barons will take on the Babineau Warriors at Armstrong Field on Oct. 6 at 1 p.m.
