PEMBROKE — Purnell Swett enters Week 3 coming off a win, while Red Springs comes off back-to-back losses to start the season.
But both are seeking to play better football as they inch closer to the middle portion of the season.
They’ll meet each other for a 7:30 p.m. kickoff Friday at Purnell Swett’s Big Mo Stadium.
Purnell Swett (1-1) beat Fairmont 40-12 in a game that began Friday and was completed Saturday. But after a penalty-filled contest, the Rams are searching for more discipline as they play their final nonconference contest before a bye week and the Sept. 20 United-8 Conference opener.
“First of all, we have to play better, we have to play more sound football and cut down on the penalties,” Purnell Swett coach Josh Deese said. “Because still, we won, but we had a few touchdowns called back because of holding and just unsportsmanlike stuff that we are going to correct at practice this week. I like the momentum, but until we can fix that, we still have a lot of work to do.”
