Cedar Creek School had too much firepower on offense and special teams for Delta Charter School to contain as the Cougars defeated the Storm 45-20 Friday night.

“We just got an old-fashioned butt whipping tonight,” Delta Charter head coach Zach Rogel said. “We didn’t match their physicality. As a coach, I didn’t have them prepared.”

Cedar Creek scored 17 points in the first quarter and 21 points in the second quarter to take a commanding 38-6 lead into halftime.

“They took two punt returns to the house. Offensively, they broke containment on a couple of long runs. It’s hard to find a silver lining because we hate to lose,” Rogel said.

Despite being down by such a big deficit at halftime, the Storm would not quit as it actually outscored the Cougars 14-7 in the second half.

“The second half, we showed a little resolve and a little heart,” Rogel said. “We moved the ball a little. We cut down on turnovers and penalties. We showed what our potential could be.”

Delta Charter (1-1) plays host to Grant High School at 7 p.m. Friday.
