UNIONTOWN — Marmaton Valley Junior High’s football and volleyball teams had a tough go of it on the road Thursday.

The Wildcat football team took a 52-0 loss to host Uniontown.

“Uniontown was by far the more physical team,” head coach Dan Uhlrich said. “As a team, Uniontown was bigger, faster and stronger. They really impressed me with how they played.

“The biggest thing we will look forward to is improvement,” he continued. “The way to improve is to consistently work hard and focus. 

“We need to block better and tackle better. We need to initiate contact on blocking and we need to wrap up on tackling. We need to be more aggressive. We have good goods. We will continue to stay positive and work.”
