Cumberland was able to get a complete team win last week against Tri-County 42-7. Besides one big play in the first quarter that led to the Tri-County touchdown, Cumberland was able to hold the Titans offense all night. Cumberland’s rushing attack was in full affect in the win. Cumberland is now 3-1 on the season and 1-0 in the conference. Now the Pirates will host 2-2 (1-0) Villa Grove. Villa Grove got their first conference win last week against Martinsville 45-0. Villa Grove also has a win against Arthur 40-13 in week 2. Villa Grove did lose week 1 to Tuscola 57-0 and in week 3 against Decatur Lutheran 30-6. For the Cumberland offense it will be more of the same, run the ball to set up the playaction pass. Cumberland’s defense will need to come out with the same fire they had last week. Villa Grove’s offense feeds off the defense. If Villa Grove’s defense can stop the Pirates then the offense will be motivated. If Cumberland can get the win this week it will leave them as the only 2-0 team in the conference. Cumberland vs. Villa Grove can be heard Friday on WCRA as well as effinghamradio.com and the Effingham Radio App at 6:45 with kickoff at 7 PM.
