JV Football vs. Summerland
The Niobrara-Verdigre Cougar JV football team was back in action Monday night, Sept. 18 in Summerland with a 14-39 loss to the Summerland Bobcats.
The young Cougar defense played very well to open the game generating a lot of pressure in the backfield. We shut down the Summerland rushing attack but were unable to cover a Bobcat receiver on a couple of big plays through the air. Summerland’s scores came on long pass plays (PATs failed). Meanwhile the Cougar rushing attack and play-action pass game was able to gain some traction. The first Cougar score came on a Kash Nielsen to Colt Adema 22-yard TD pass (Nielsen PAT pass to Layten Moody). The second score was a 10-yard TD pass from Kash Nielsen to Layten Moody (PAT failed). Halftime score… N-V 14 Summerland 20.
The 2nd half saw some physical defense from the Cougars, but, again, big plays sparked the Bobcat offense. Turnovers & mistakes in key situations also proved to be too much for the young N-V team to overcome. The game ended N-V 14 Summerland 39.
The Cougars JV football team plays Wausa Monday, Sept. 25 in Verdigre with a 6:30 pm kick-off. GO COUGARS!!
