Rangers seek 2nd 2A-5 win

By Lea Lessley Sports Writer 

After registering its first win of the season at home against Keys last week Roland travels to Vian Friday night to take on the Class 2A No. 5 Wolverines in a District 2A-5 contest.

Kickoff inside Charlie St. John Stadium is scheduled for 7 p.m.

The Rangers (1-3) defeated Keys 21-20 in their 2A-5 opener last week while the Wolverines won 44-14 at Warner.

The Wolverines (2-2) lost 39-24 at home to 2A No. 1 Washington in their season opener. After winning 4026 at 2A No. 10 Eufaula, Vian fell 42-0 to 3A No. 1 Lincoln Christian.

“We‚ve got to show up and be ready for a physical game,” Roland head coach Austin Cantrell said. “They‚re No. 5 in 2A so we‚ve definitely got to be prepared to go play a physical game.”

Last season the Wolverines defeated the Rangers 55-21.

Some of Vian‚s key players on offense are quarterback Diego Ramos (6-foot-3, 185-pound senior), running back/slot back Desean Mays (5-11, 165, sr.), running back Masyn Wright (5-11, 180, fr.) and linemen Nic Scoggins (5-10, 240, sr.), Marshal Ross (6-4, 290, sr.), Cash Collins, Lane Jamison and Jeff Crow.

“Their offense is pretty multiple,” Cantrell said. “They have a good quarterback that can throw it and they‚re going to try to get the ball to No. 20 (Desean Mays) and No. 2 (Masyn Wright).

“Defensively we‚ve got to be able to keep contain on some of their key guys, their ball carries, keep them corralled and try to limit the big plays.”

A few of the Wolverines‚ key players on defense are linebacker Gage Carlton (5-8, 175, sr.), defensive lineman Marshal Ross and defensive backs Diego Ramos, Desean Mays, Masyn Wright and Michael Polecat (5-8, 160, fr.).

“On defense they rotate between a threeman front and a four-man front,” said Cantrell. “To me it looks like whenever they get a heavy set on offense they‚re going to be in a four-man and occasionally they‚ll be in a three.

“Offensively we‚ve just got to execute what we‚re trying to do and hopefully deal with their size because obviously they have large players.

“We‚re having a hard time executing plays and trying to get everything right. We‚re really close but it‚s one guy here, one guy there that‚s kind of causing a play to be off but once we get 11 guys executing consistently we‚ll be able to move the ball and be a much better offense.”
