DAYTON/WAITSBURG-Dayton-Waitsburg Wolfpack played White Swan High school Friday night at White Swan. After another long bus ride, DW came out flat and trailed White Swan 0-14 before Monte Pettichord scrambled 35 yards for a touchdown. Pettichord was forced into scrambling a lot Friday night racking up 231 yards on 18 carries.

Coach Troy Larsen said that the Wolfpack has been struggling keeping the same student athletes on the field with injuries and colds, resulting in multiple players snapping the ball.They had a lot of errant snaps that forced Pettichord into running.

Hudson Reser played in his first game and excelled running the ball going for 126 yards on 16 carries. DW found themselves down 26-7 in the second quarter and rallied behind the arm of Pettichord throwing touchdowns of 21, 25, and 34 yards.

Daylan Marlow ended the night with three touchdown catches and 70 yards for his best night receiving of the new season. DW entered the 4-quarter trailing 41-42, but between penalties and bad snaps, the Wolfpack couldn't overcome the mistakes and lost 41-48. Defensively, Kaylub Prather led the team with 12 tackles, and Theo Anderson contributed with 10 tackles (five of which were solo), and Cyson Morris had another interception along with 5 tackles.

"I am very proud of the way this team never gave up. Every time they got down the Wolfpack fought back and left everything on the field at White Swan," Larsen said. "As this young team grows up and gets more experience we will start capitalizing on opportunities and winning the fourth quarter."

DW will host Warden Thursday night, September 30, at the Waitsburg High School Field. Kick-off is at 6 p.m.
