CHETEK, WI – Mistakes will happen, that is expected. Coaches will help players make the corrections needed from week-to-week. Unfortunately, mistakes that keep happening during the games are harder to fix in the moment.
Those mistakes may be the difference between winning and losing, as was the case for the Spring Valley football team here last week. The final result of a 13-8 loss to Chetek-Weyerhaeuser in a non-conference battle leaves the Cardinals with an 0-2 overall record. Valley will open conference play tomorrow night in Clear Lake against the Warriors, who are 1-1 following a 10-0 loss to Webster last week.
The biggest difference in the loss between the two teams was penalties. The Cardinals committed an uncharacteristic 12 penalties for 105 yards while the Bulldogs were flagged just two times for only five yards in the game. Valley showed some good progress from the previous week, moving the ball at times and getting defensive stops at times also.
