BARNESVILLE – Not many people associated with the Barnesville football team are accustomed to losing, so last week’s bounce-back win over Wheeling Central was especially pleasing for head coach Blake Allen.
The Shamrocks had their 41-game regular-season winning streak halted by a talented George Washington team from Charleston, W.Va., two weeks ago and then had to face the state-ranked Maroon Knights on a short week.
However, they dominated their way to a 43-14 victory.
“I could not be more proud of the way our kids have handled the last few weeks. First, the effort and grit they showed throughout the George Washington game and then the way they bounced back on a short week against a very good Wheeling Central team shows the heart and character of this team,” Allen said.
