Plainfield vs Union


Plainfield – 14
Union – 38



The Cardinals laid an egg on their first road game of the season.  The effort was not there and uncharacteristic penalties haunted them during the course of the game.  Union rushed and passed for a combined total of 409 yards.  The defense gave up the most points this season.  It does not get any easier next week as one of the most prolific offensive units coached by the Mighty Quinn will look to add to their stat line on the Cards.

1)      The Cardinals were flat as a pancake.
2)      The offensive unit sputtered all night
3)      On a positive note, the special teams showed improvement

For the 3rd consecutive game, Rickie Barnett garnered the Plainfield Fanatic overall player of the game.  Although he did not score for the first time this season, his special teams effort was the main reason why the Cardinals improved in this area of the game.  His kickoffs sailed deep with one going into the end zone for a touchback and his 79-yard kick return setup a score.  His punting was also effective. 


Other Notes:

Offensive Player of the game – Robert Jackson
Defensive Player of the game – Sharrieff Rasheed
