The Nazareth Swifs lost a tough game at Olton Friday, September 4th 28-20. The good guys ou gained the Mustangs 307 yards to 205. Sage Black threw for 216 yards, 2 touchdowns, and 1 interception. Sid Sheffey was the receptionist of both touchdown passes and finished the night with 102 yards recieveing. Beau Bradley scored the other touch down of the night when Black pitched him the ball on an option play around left end.
For all of the good in the game there were some costly mistakes. Poor punt coverage and a bad snap over the punters head and an interception led the Mustangs scoring drives of 27, 8, and 15 yards. "Giving Olton the short field three times killed us. I was pleased with the way the kids played and battled through out the game, and while we would rather be 2-0 instead of 0-2, I really believe the quality of our opponents early in the season will help us as we move into district play." Coach Emery said when asked about his thoughts about the team and season thus far.
However, things don't get any easier for the Swifts as the top 10 ranked New Deal Lions come into town for a 7:30 contest Friday Sept. 11. "Coach Mayo does an outstanding job and they are definately one of the area teams you like to measure yourself up against. I think the boys will be prepared and exticed to play at home for the first time this year," Coach Emery said. "
