After a defining Thursday night victory against powerhouse Parkersburg in the WVSSAC Kickoff, Mohigan football was the talk of Morgantown and Class AAA football. Now, one of the toughest schedules in the state has provided a pair of speed bumps.
Hitting the road for a three-game stretch in the first-half of the season is no walk in the park, and the Mohigans upped the ante by traveling to defending Ohio Division IV state champion Steubenville and Maryland Class 1A runners-up Fort Hill in back-to-back weeks.
They go to Brooke tonight at 7:30 and the Bruins provide a tough matchup with a power backfield that enjoys running the ball down their opponents’ throats — a fact that doesn’t bode well for a Morgantown squad that surrendered more than 400 rushing yards to Fort Hill just a week before.
The Mohigans will look to shore up its defensive front and capitalize on missed scoring opportunities — factors which contributed the MHS downfall in each of its most recent games.
