With an even five minutes to go in the game, Holmes County managed another touchdown, 35-14.
“We made some adjustments with our linebackers, and we started to get a little bit of pass rush,” Wheatley said. “We broke on the ball and we played the ball in the secondary. And I was so glad to see that from the previous week at Baker where we struggled a little back there. I thought we played the ball well and took advantage of a short field a couple of times.”
“We had a couple of mistakes in the second half. We’ve got to correct some penalties and other issues like that, but overall I thought it was a tremendous win for us,” Wheatley said.
The Chiefs (5-0, 4-0) will be on the road next week against Freeport (4-1, 4-0).
