The United Red Storm football program hosted the Annawan-Wethersfield Titans last Friday night to kick-off week one of the 2022 season. The Red Storm fell to the Titans 35-16 in a game that United trailed 13-0 at the half. Red Storm head coach David Milroy is not pushing the panic button as United lost to the Titans to start the 2021 season and ended the regular season with a record of (6-3). Last year’s Red Storm leading wide receiver and now this year’s United quarterback Abel Wilson rushed for 153 yards and a touchdown on 27 carries in his first game leading Red Storm offense. Milroy discussed how the team is feeling coming off that loss and preparing for their next match up this Friday against Princeville.
It’s often said that the biggest step forward, or backward, happens between week one and week two of a football season and Milroy says his team is ready and excited for this battle with the Princes.
Make sure to tune into your home for United Red Storm football, AM 1330/FM 94.1 WRAM on Friday night at 6:40 for the Red Storm football pregame show. United and Princeville are scheduled to kick their Lincoln Trail Conference match up off at 7:00 from Princeville High School. For the entire interview with Coach Milroy, click HERE
