WHITE HALL More bite needed

A 41-point victory in a shutout over a longtime foe was exactly what White Hall needed to get 2021 going the right direction.

That doesn’t mean that Coach Bobby Bolding was satisfied after the victory over Sheridan.

“We made a lot of mistakes that we saw on film,” he said. “We’ve actually spent the last two days trying to correct them, but we still haven’t got them fixed.

We’re going to go back at it again and try to correct those things before Friday.”

Bolding was happy with his team’s effort and physicality. The Bulldogs led 38-0 at the half behind touchdowns from Zaire Green and Durran Cain and coasted over the final two quarters. But small miscues sullied White Hall’s overall performance

“Just too many technique mistakes on both sides of the ball and special teams,” he said. “It wasn’t an effort problem at all … just way, way, way too many technique issues. It’s hard to have a 16-year-old go, ‘We won the game, we mercy-ruled.’ And then they look at the game grades afterwards and go, ‘I graded a 38, that don’t make no sense.’ Sixty percent of the time they were doing things they weren’t suppose to be doing so we’ve got to correct that.”

White Hall entertains Warren on Friday, and Bolding sees a number of similarities between the two.

“We kind of mirror each other in what we’re doing a little bit,” Bolding said. “[Warren] Coach [Bo] Hembree has gotten a little bit more run-oriented, but he still throws it around. And defensively, we’re similar, too, so it’s just going to boil down to who makes the most mistakes.”
