Mancos High School football falls to Sanford

Although the Mancos High School football team has improved, wins have been tough to come by.

Playing on the road against Sanford on Sept. 19, the Bluejays struggled, losing 48-12 to fall to 1-4 on the season.

According to associate head coach Josh Gardner, a slow start and a few costly turnovers doomed the Bluejays, who trailed 36-0 at halftime.

"We kind of got off to a slow start and turned the ball over a few times," said Gardner. "We made a couple of mental errors."

Scoring one rushing touchdown each for the Bluejays were Everett Strazza-Whalen and Bowen Strazza-Whalen, who, according to Parsons, both ran the ball well.

Also putting forth a solid effort was Mancos fullback Andrew Morgan, who, according to Gardner, opened several holes for the Bluejays running backs.

Next up for the Bluejays will be a home matchup against Sargent on Sept. 27. The game will begin at 1 p.m.

"(Sargent) is pretty tough," said Gardner. "They're quick off the ball. We've got some growing up to do. We're going to need to step up our game."
