“They’re a lot more our speed, we match up a lot better with
them,” Simcox said.
While he didn’t see his team play as well as he would have
liked, Simcox did say he saw improvement in last Friday’s rain soaked, 35-14
loss to Blue Springs.
They didn’t do themselves any favors either though as Blue Springs scored two touchdowns in the
first quarter, the first of which came after the Panthers had a punt blocked on
their first drive of the game. Both scores came from Blue Springs running back Dalvin Warmack who
ended the game with 136 yards on 19 carries.
Things didn’t get much better in the second quarter as Blue Springs blocked another Park Hill South punt which
resulted in a safety and a lost fumble led to another Blue Springs touchdown right before halftime
increasing their lead to 27-0. Late in the game, Park Hill South was finally
able to do what few teams in the metro were successful at last Friday: pass the
ball. Quarterbacks Shaefer Schuetz and Carson Reid were both able to complete
touchdown passes (82 and 21 yards) to put the Panthers on the border.
“We obviously allowed too many (points) and didn’t score
enough, but last week we acted like we didn’t prepare very well and made an
unbelievable amount of mistakes on both sides of the ball,” Simcox said. “This
week, we got beat by a good team, but didn’t do a whole lot to help them out. So
I think we made some big improvements and if we continue to do make
improvements we’ll be fine.”
