Strong defense helps Poly Prep overcome sloppy first half
The Poly Prep Blue Devils lost four fumbles throughout the entire season last year, but had three in the first half of Friday’s game and committed 125 yards worth of penalties to make things worse.
“We are never going to beat anybody playing like that — four turnovers in the first half and we had 125 yards in penalties,” Poly Prep head coach Dino Mangiero said afterward. “That’s a terrible first half. That’s probably the worst half of football that we’ve played here in a long, long time.”
