West St. Mary Head Coach Clifton Armelin said his squad “let one slip away” following the loss to the Wildcats.
“I felt it was a good start after having only two days to prepare,” he said. “We didn’t play badly but we had turnovers at the wrong time and we had to deal with the heat. We just let the game slip away from us in a team we were better than. We did real good on defense and our passing game led to our touchdowns. Offensively, we have to get into a rhythm.”
