Huskies can’t match up with Broncos
This wasn’t the script Nick Lamphier had in mind when he took over as Nashua-Plainfield’s head football coach.
Oh, he knew the schedule wasn’t easy so the 0-2 record may not be palatable but it is understandable.
But after a 55-0 loss to Belmond-Klemme last week, the Huskies were down to one starting offensive lineman.
“Evan Kalainoff made it through,” Lamphier said, “but four of our five offensive lineman we started the season with were out and, boy oh boy, that makes it tough on any football team. We have to find a way to regroup, have the next guy step in and go back to work this week.”
Still, Lamphier tried to stay positive; after all, Belmond-Klemme appears to have one of its best teams in recent memory and was coming off a 61-6 season-opening win over Eagle Grove.
“Their quarterback and especially their fullback are as good of football players as you’re going to see,” Lamphier said. “And their whole team is big and quick. That’s a pretty good combination at this level of high school football. Man, their quarterback was bigger than most of our lineman.”
