Portagers Lose to Hart

Onekama was on the wrong side of a 55-0 contest Friday, August 24, as they dropped their season opener.

The Hart Pirates got on the board early and often with four scores in the first quarter and four more in the second.  With a running clock in the second half, the Portagers buckled down on defense and allowed just one more score for Hart.

Onekama had a couple trips to the red zone, but were unable to light up the scoreboard.

Unfortunately, there's a lot of areas we have to work on," said Coach Jim Hunter after the lopsided loss. "We're just not physical enough yet. When we take on an offense like they have, the guys up front have to get down and get under, with kids flying in there to fill.

"We're playing a lot of young kids, and many of our upperclassmen are playing for the first time," he added. "For a young group, Hrt had a tough offense to read, and they ran it really well."

The loss marks the third straight year the Portagers have lost to Hart at the start of the season.
