WSN head coach Andro Williams said that he was pleased with the first defense, who gave up no touchdowns to Cordova.

“Our younger guys gave up a 70-yard run there at the end,” he said. “We have a lot to work on going into the summer that we can take away from the scrimmage. I thought our kids had a good time playing. Traveling to and playing in a college stadium is a great way to end spring training.”

Williams said there were some busted assignments in the game.

“I wasn’t concerned about the score, but how we played the game,” he said.

“We wanted to make sure we blocked and tackle well. We did that with our older guys. JV guys have some way to go. Take the good we got from it. We wanted to see a lot of people on film, and we did. We are doing an evaluation on everyone from top to bottom.”

Williams said the thought that Neal was more physical than Cordova.

“We are going to work this summer to get stronger and faster,” he said.

“Try to get stronger and faster through the summer.”
