Wahlert hands Marion 7th loss in row
Despite a dismal 1-7 season, Marion Coach Tony Perkins does not have one bad thing to say about his team.
“I love these kids,” he said Friday night after yet another disappointing loss, this time 28-14 on Senior Night at home to Dubuque Wahlert.
“I still believe they’re a good football team. They don’t believe it. And that’s the hard thing, to get them to believe in themselves.”
As has been the case all year for the hard-luck Indians, they once again gave the game away. Two first-half fumbles deep in their own territory led to Wahlert scores.
The Golden Eagles scored again early in the third quarter after yet another Marion fumble. And they came right back to go up 24-8 following a 33-yard punt return gave them a starting point at Marion’s 38.
“That’s been the way it’s been in our other games,” Perkins pointed out. “We hurt ourselves.
