Deary 66
Kootenai 6
HARRISON FLATS — The numbers game caught up to the Warriors, but the fight was right there all night.
Andrew Whipple caught a 38-yard touchdown pass from Gage Maitland in the second quarter for the Warriors — who played with the mininum eight players — in a White Star League loss to the Mustangs.
“We played a lot better this week,” said Kootenai coach Doug Napierala, whose team lost at Kendrick 88-6 on Oct. 6. “We’ve been suffering through some injuries to limit our numbers, so we’ve been challenging them to get better as individuals and as a team. The kids played hard and did some new things. We got better, and Deary’s a solid squad — both them and Kendrick. It was good to go out and compete and not worry about the score and just focus on getting better, and we accomplished that today.”
Kootenai (2-4, 2-4 WSL) travels to Colton (Wash.) next Friday.
Deary is 7-0, 5-0.
