The big play has been absent from the Perry offense for the majority of the season and the Bluejays are hoping they can discover it over the final four weeks of the regular season. Perry will host Gilbert tonight in a 7:30 homecoming kickoff at Dewey Field. The Perry offense will look to take a little pressure off of the defense tonight as they take on a Gilbert team that has given up quite a few yards and points.
“We really need the offense to start performing,” stated Perry coach Matt Hardy. “The defense has been playing well and we just need the offense to get some consistency and take some of the heat off of the defense. We just haven’t been able to connect on many explosive plays of 20 yards or more. We have been close a couple of times but usually its one missed block down field or a missed block on the perimeter.”
Alexis Garrido will take over at quarterback tonight while Adan Medina slides over to his natural position at wide receiver and running back.
Here’s a look at tonight’s opponent in Gilbert. You can listen to tonight’s game on KDLS and raccoonvalleyradio.com.
