The West Central Heat football team is out a quick start this season……literally. The Heat are (2-0) and have outscored their opponents 46-0 in the first quarter and 116-30 in the first halves of the two games. West Central has a match up in week 3 with a team that’s almost as hot as the Heat.
The Ridgewood Spartans are in their first year of 8-man football. They are also (2-0) in their first two games and have outscored their opponents by a total of 64-7 in the first quarter and 100-13 in the first half of their two victories.
The coaches, Jason Kirby for West Central and Pat Elder of Ridgewood, have a long and successful history full of respect for each other. Kirby is looking forward to the challenge of facing a quality Spartan 8-man team for the first time.
The Heat advanced all the way to the 8-man State Semi-finals last fall before losing to the eventual state champs, Polo High School.
We’ll have the West Central-Ridgewood game on the PCSN on Friday night, with the Sunny 97.7 WMOI pregame show starting at 6:40, kickoff is set for 7:00. You can also hear it live online at radiomonmouth.com or on our free 97.7 WMOI app for your smartphone or tablet.
