The East Robertson football team was able to learn a few lessons after taking on first place-ranked Forrest Friday night.
“We made three big mistakes tonight that costs us 21 points, and you just can’t do that against a team like Forrest,” East Robertson coach Chad Broadrick said. “Now we just have to put this one behind us and continue to improve because it doesn’t get any easier from here.”
This Friday, the Indians will travel to Watertown. Kickoff will be at 7 p.m.
