The Estevan Century 21 peewee Chargers gave up a lot of points but didn't give up on the day.
They lost 60-0 at Woodlawn Field Saturday afternoon to the Weyburn Ravens in a game they'd sooner forget.
“We just wanted to work on our focus and our mental mistakes,” said Chargers head coach Jason Bresciani. “We just wanted to work on that. If we know what we're doing and are playing hard, we probably could have done better.”
The Chargers started off on the wrong foot, surrendering an opening play touchdown on the opening kickoff by Weyburn's Carter Houghton. On Weyburn's next possession, their running back Lex Ginnis took a 42 yard dash on the outside for the second touchdown. While the Chargers cleaned up a bit on defence and strengethened their defensive line, Seth Peters' 37-yard run gave Weyburn an 18-0 lead on the last play of the first quarter.
It was the start of a long day for the Chargers, who gave up another 21 points before the end of the half. On the last play of the half, Arin Park needed ambulatory help to leave the field with 17 seconds left. Halftime was called and the second half was played with straight time.
Saturday, the team will host the Assiniboia Rockets at 2 p.m. and close out their regular season Oct. 13 at the Moose Jaw Lions. If the standings hold, they will play in a playoff game Oct. 17.
“We need to keep working on our discipline, keep working on our focus and keep working on our execution,” said Bresciani. “All in all, just keep working on teamwork”
