The start of this game was nothing like that of Havre, and we didn't come out with the same intensity as our previous game. We quickly gave up a touchdown to Poplar and an ensuing two-point conversion. The tides were not turning, and we were getting marched on again by the tough running of Poplar's offense. Fortunate for us though, we have some ball-hawking defensive backs. Jeremiah Benson gave us a spark with an interception inside our territory. We could not capitalize on the interception and...
