Mullan 8, Salmon River 42

What a terrible day for football. The weather at the field in Silverton was awful. It started out raining, it ended snowing. It was soooooo cold. Those poor boys were playing hard on that cold, wet field.
It seemed everything was going ok at the end of the first half when the score was 8 to 16, salmon river. Then after the half, the injuries started. 2 of our mullan boys went to the ambulance. Another one had a sprained ankle from a previous game and was forced to play with it. When players get injured on a team like mullan, when you only have 11 or 12 guys to start out with, its not a good thing. So, the second half was terrible. Turn overs, penalties, and cold wind all played a factor in the final outcome of the game.
First year Coach Corey Miller quoted in the Spokesman Review....." We were picked to win one game all season, and we get 3rd place in the state (1A division). So, we did alright." I think they did better than alright. Great job boys. You played hard all season, and it showed!!!!

Hi lyns,
Yeah, it wasn't good. I felt like crying on my way out of that field. But, as we were leaving the Mullan crowd was cheering for the boys as they were posing for a picture with their 3rd place trophy. So, it wasn't all bad. The worst part was that some Kootenai boys came to watch the game and they sat on the salmon river side. What sore losers!! That ticked us off!!!

Kootenai sucks. I've always hated those little bastards.
