Springfield wide receiver Da’Shawn Martin knew exactly what the takeaway was after losing Saturday in the second Ironton Gridiron Classic.
“Honestly it humbles the whole team,” he said. “We’re not as good as we thought.”
What made the feeling worse for the Wildcats was that for much of the game they competed evenly with the Stags, a top talent-producing program from Hyattsville, Maryland. But a handful of plays, most of them late in the first half, put the Wildcats in a 28-7 halftime hole.
“You gotta have some humble pie,” Wildcats coach Maurice Douglass said. “Good for us is that it was an out-of-state team. We’ve been here before. It’s just another group of new guys. Every time we’ve lost in the past, we bounced back and showed our resilience. So we have to bounce back and have a great week of practice.”
DeMatha, which piled up 495 total yards, also made some plays happen with their talent. A 25-yard leaping catch by Vincent Ordenes for 25 yards converted a fourth-and-15 to the 8-yard line. The Stags scored on a 3-yard run three plays later for a 7-0 lead.
