After 60-0 win, Beavercreek prepares for Game of the Week
BEAVERCREEK — A 60-0 win against Stebbins on Friday, Aug. 28, isn’t casuing any furhter celebration in the Beavercreek High School football locker room the week after.
“Even if we lost 60-0, which we have in the past, we move on to the next game immediately,” Beavercreek coach Scott Clodfelter said Wednesday morning. “After a win, you move to the next game. In football, you don’t have time to think about it.”
The next game, in this case, is the Dayton Daily News Game of the Week against Carroll on the road Friday.
The Beavers are hoping to match a strong start they had to last season, and they began with a steady push against Stebbins. Junior Gabe Henry, Creek’s main back, scored five touchdowns and ran 12 times for 130 yards. Clodfelter was also pleased with his linebacker play, especially that of sophomores Brandon Smith and Joe Desjardins.
Fundamentals are key against Carroll, which won its opener against Xenia 20-7 with a new crew of juniors maintaining the same mindset of coach Steve Barlett’s program: Run well, tackle well.
“They’re well-coached, they execute, they have big linemen, the defense is always sound,” Clodfelter said. “They beat you with execution, nothing has changed there. That’s their same formula.”
