The Neodesha Bluestreaks and head coach Nathan West dropped a 38-14 decision to Caney Valley in Week 5, suffering their first loss of the season.

The Bluestreaks entered the matchup at 4-0, looking to begin the second half of their regular season with a statement, but couldn’t mount a second-half comeback after going into halftime down 14-0.

West says his team didn’t match the physicality of the Bullpups, and that will be something the Bluestreaks will have to work on as the season progresses.

With an important game against Humboldt coming up in Week 6, West says the Bluestreaks will have to prepare for the Cubs’ dual-threat quarterback and be ready to play from kickoff.

Both Neodesha and Humboldt enter the district clash at 4-1, as the Bluestreaks will look to rebound at home against another tough opponent.
