Plattsmouth and Weeping Water Play 7 Tie in High School Football

A large crowd watched Plattsmouth and Weeping Water play to a 7 to 7 tie at Eagle Baseball Park Friday afternoon. Plattsmouth broke through on a clever fake a late quarter as Frank Godwin and Chase at fullback anchored the offense. Weeping Water, despite an early close to the goal, could not breach Plattsmouth’s defense. The game highlighted strong defense by Kreid at end and notable performances by Murphin and Moulden for Weeping Water, with Renner and others contributing on both sides. The Weeping Water line pressured but the locals answered with solid tackling and rushes, while both teams dealt with injuries that affected lineup depth for the season.
