Morss had a great kicking game and was two-for-two on his PATs. Stutzman Turner recorded one interception. Quarterback Zack Morgan suffered a shoulder injury, and once again Christopher “Pherry” Luz stepped in for the Outlaws and did a great job. Coach Neil Fendall said, “The players and coaches would like to be further along in our execution than we are, but we’re very pleased with how they competed, that’s for sure.” The Outlaws will play at home against Crook County in a non-league contest on Friday, September 15.
