“Special teams did a great job of giving us a spark very early in the game. Hunter Aspenson had a great game returning punts. Nick Benish did an outstanding job of being a ball hawk and stripping the ball as well as recovering a fumble in the first half,” said SWS Coach Justin Goodrich. “Our offensive and defensive lines were both very dominant for the entire game. I was very pleased with our younger players stepping up in the second half and holding WCW out of the end zone. This group of young men gels very well and they are fun to watch play as a team!”
