DW Wolfpack football has once-in-a-lifetime interruption against CB

WAITSBURG-Dayton Waitsburg had a tough night moving the ball against a senior-heavy Columbia Burbank team, on the Coyotes' senior night.

Columbia Burbank came out firing last Thursday night and put up 35 points in the first quarter to set the tone for the night, according to coach Troy Larsen.

"We had a really hard time picking up their front 5 and when they brought even more via the blitz, they put us in some bad situations, pretty much eliminating our run game," said Larsen. "Columbia was sitting in a cover three pass coverage which allowed us to move the ball with short passes with our RPO package."

Larsen said that Monte Pettichord did a good job scrambling to get some tight throws off with all their pressure.

"I give the Wolfpack football players a lot of credit for not giving up and continuing to battle for

the whole game. We did see some great effort upfront blocking at times, and it allowed Hudson Reser to run through for 9 hard-fought yards and we manufactured one of the few TDs against that Columbia defense all year; 3 TD against them total," said Larsen

A once in a lifetime interruption made the game extra memorable, Larsen shared, when a Falcon 9 second stage, part of the March 4 Starlink satellite launch, reentered the atmosphere, putting on a "once in a lifetime show." Fans and players alike lost focus of the game, watching the cluster of debris as it lit up the night sky.

The Wolfpack traveled to White Swan on Tuesday, for a league crossover game.
