San Manuel Miners
The San Manuel football team lost its fourth-straight game last Friday night against visiting Miami, 34 – 8.
Head coach Daniel Williams was not pleased following the loss.
“We have a lot to work on,” Williams told the Miner. “We’re not playing as a team and until we do we’re not going to experience winning.”
Junior running back Chrisitian Velasquez scored the Miners’ lone touchdown on a rushing play up the middle.
Last Friday was the third game in a row that the Miners have allowed 34 points or more. It was also the third game out of four that they were held to single-digit scoring.
With the halfway mark of the season approaching this week, the Miners need to make adjustments on both sides of the ball, and quickly, before the season’s end arrives without a victory.
The Miners travel to Globe this Friday to take on the 3 – 1 Tigers. Kickoff is scheduled for 7 p.m.
