MADISONVILLE — Columbus football kept their postseason train rolling as they took down Woodville High School by a final score of 24-7 Nov. 17 at Madisonville High School’s Mustang Stadium. The Cardinals didn’t score as much as they have throughout the regular season, but they scored enough to come out with a solid win and also did it by stepping up to the plate on defense. “There’s no opportunity for a ‘my bad’ or a second chance,” said Columbus head football coach Matt Schobel on the team’s playoff mindset.
“It’s about going 1-0 on Friday night or whenever the game’s played and find a way to win. We did that tonight. Definitely some things we can clean up. The kids know that. We’ll take a look at some things as a staff we can do better. That’s all of us. We’ll keep working and we’re excited about going to round three.”
Cardinals senior running back Ty’Vone Whitehead had another huge game and found the end zone once again to put his team on top and eventually seal the victory. “My o line’s been a big help,” Whitehead said. “Pulling, blocking, also passing. It opens up my runs for me and I go and hit the holes and try to go score.”
