Elgin comes up short in Taylor matchup

The Elgin Wildcats varsity football team fell 36-19 to the Taylor Ducks after an hour weather delay Friday at Taylor High School.

Elgin was first on the scoreboard in the Sept. 11 loss and held a lead heading to halftime. Despite the outcome, head coach Rich Lucero said he was able to identify some inconsistencies and areas for improvement with the developing roster.

“Specifically on third downs and in the red zone, but you only learn by trial of fire, and that’s where we’re at,” he said.
