The Red Raiders took a 14-7 lead into halftime when they capitalized on a rare mistake by Whippet quarterback Quinn Henicle who lost a fumble on a sack. Matt Ortega Jr hit Jack Qwan Jones from 29 yards out on a second down and 26, following a personal foul.
Despite losing two fumbles, Quinn Henicle had a solid game, throwing for 195 yards and a touchdown on 13-17 passing, and adding 48 yards rushing and a touchdown on 16 carries.
Coatesville still has a solid defense, holding Downingtown West’s offense to their lowest output in points (21) and yardage (301 yards). Unfortunately, the Red Raiders were unable to overcome an off day by their offense (192 yards of offense- 118 yards passing, 74 rushing), and 16 penalties for 140 yards.
After the game, Whippet quarterback Quinn Henicle said, “It’s amazing to beat them. The only opponent that could beat us is ourselves.”
Coach Mike Milano stated “We hung in there all game. Kept trusting each other and the staff. This game is always a grind from all the way from middle school to now. You can’t beat a good team when you commit 16 penalties like they did.”
