Mustangs shutout 35-0, remain winless.
Woodland Hills scored less than two minutes into the contest, and never looked back, as the Wolverines dominated the Mustangs en route to a 35-0 victory Friday night at Plum. The Mustangs (0-4, 0-4 WPIAL AAAA Southeastern Conference) turned the ball over on the second play from scrimmage, as Plum senior quarterback Corey DeLoach had his pass intercepted by Khalil Harper, who returned it to the Mustangs’ 8-yard-line. Two plays later, Dequan White found the end zone to put the Wolverines ahead, a lead they would never relinquish. Plum Head Coach Frank Sacco emphasized the significance of the poor start. “We shoot ourselves in the foot on the first drive,” Sacco said. “You can’t do that against a football team like Woodland Hills.

The Plum Mustangs lost their third football game of the season on Friday night with a 45-6 score. The Wolverines were coming to Mustang Stadium with a 2-0 record and the Plum team knew they would have their work cut out for them, as they tried to better their 1-1 record. “They are a good team every year,” said Plum Head Coach Frank Sacco. “We have to play fundamental and smart football."

I do not agree. The coaches put a lot of time in working with the kids and it is ridiculous how they are treated. In addition to that the teams they are going up against have more players to pull from. I think it would be nice to see what Coach Sacco could do in the next two years. The junior varsity team has won 3 of their 5 games. Two of the games were a landslide victory. Talent can't always … more ›
