The Sedan Blue Devils and head coach Mick Holt picked up a big rivalry victory during Homecoming week, defeating the West Elk Patriots 44-18.

 

Both teams traded scores in a chaotic second quarter that featured five total touchdowns, with Sedan taking a one-possession lead into halftime at 20-12.

 

Entering the matchup, Holt says his team couldn’t afford to overlook any opponent, especially a rival like West Elk. He pointed to the Patriots’ strong backfield and offensive line as areas Sedan needed to prepare for. 

 

The Blue Devils held onto their lead over the final two quarters, including a 24-point outburst in the last 12 minutes. Holt says his team was ready for the challenge, with both squads coming off victories and looking to build momentum. 

 

The win moves Sedan to 2-1, and the Blue Devils will continue their homestand this Friday against Flinthills as they aim for their third victory of the season in Week 4.
