Gonzales Cannon Article | St. Paul Cardinal Football
Both teams come into Friday’s game on a streak. Flatonia has won two straight after falling in the opener while St. Paul returned the winning lane after a 76-20 win over Somerville in their Homecoming.
"Flatonia will be the best team we have played so far," St. Paul coach Jake Wachsmuth said. "They were a playoff team last year and will be a challenge. It will be important for us because we can see how we do against such a good team."
In last week’s big win, the Cardinal dinged Somerville for over 600 rushing yards and had improved ball security.
"We need to continue to improve our execution," he said. "Last game, we were able to just run the football. Against Flatonia, we will have to open things up like different plays, formations as we cannot be one dimensional."
The Cardinals will be up against a run-heavy offense.
"First, we need to understand what Flatonia likes to do," Wachsmuth said. "Then we need to respond like we did in the first game against Yorktown, keeping in mind Flatonia is a better team than Yorktown."
Flatonia’s defense has to be ready for whatever the Cardinals throw (or run) at them
