After getting out to a slow 10-3 start against Ironwood Ridge (2-1), the Lancers went into the half, looking to make adjustments and get their offense clicking.

The second half was all Salpointe (2-0), with the offensive line and running game taking over by hanging 288 yards on the ground as the Lancers went on to secure a 34-9 victory over Ironwood Ridge.

Although the high passing numbers weren't there at the end of the game for Lancers start quarterback Treyson Bourguet, he still had a solid night with 99 yards passing and 78 yards rushing with one 24-yard passing touchdown near the end of the night.

Here's Salpointe coach Eric Rogers talking about what adjustments his team made at the half and discussing the impact of senior running back Anthony Wilhite has in the backfield:
