Spring Mills Dominates Washington High 51–7

Image
 Friday night under the lights, Spring Mills came ready to make a statement — and they did just that. The Cardinals walked away with a commanding 51–7 victory over Washington High, in a game that was never really close. What makes the score even more impressive is that the Spring Mills starters actually pitched a shutout . Washington didn’t move the ball or find the end zone until the JV players came in late in the game. From the first snap, the Cardinals’ defense looked locked in — flying to the football, creating pressure, and keeping the Washington quarterback on the move all night. Things got a little heated before kickoff when a Spring Mills player and a Washington coach exchanged words during pregame warmups. That little back-and-forth seemed to flip a switch for Spring Mills, who clearly took it personally. Moral of the story: coaches, don’t engage in trash talk with an opposing player — you’re only fueling the other team’s fire. Overall, it was another dominant perfor...
