Crusaders offence stalled in loss to Royals
The John Paul II Crusaders are no longer undefeated.
They only managed to score eight points in Thursday afternoon’s 36-8 loss to the Martensville Royals.
“We did a lot of things poorly on both sides of the ball today,” Crusaders head coach Bruce Yockey said following the loss. “We just couldn’t ever seem to gain any momentum. If we did, we’d get something going and then we’d either take a poor penalty, fumble the ball, [or have a] missed assignment. We had nothing going today.”
Indeed, the home side struggled on many offensive possessions. The fumbles were numerous, especially in the first half, and dropped passes were also a common sight at Crusaders Field.
