Columbus East 52, Greenwood 0
With an earlier than normal deadline, I had to scramble to get my story done for tomorrow’s paper while also editing everybody else. So if there are any mistakes, that one’s on me.
Just some quick thoughts on Friday’s season-opener for East before I call it a night:
In 14 games now with Dusty Kiel at QB, East has topped 50 points in six of them. In that same span, the O’s defense has three shutouts and eight times total have held opponents to single digit-scoring.
Any concerns about that defense were put to rest, or at least addressed, on Friday night. Yes, the Woodmen broke off a few long runs, but that’s going to happen when your defensive focus is on speed rather than bulk the way East’s is. The O’s, I’m sure, will take those occasional long runs when they’re pitching a shutout otherwise.
