Football Battles Through Downpour, Leave Oklahoma Baptist with a Loss

SHAWNEE, Okla. - The University of Arkansas at Monticello football team played their ninth game of the 2023 season on Saturday afternoon at Great American Conference member Oklahoma Baptist University. UAM came out of the cold, soaking wet contest with a 28-7 loss.

Saturday's game against Oklahoma Baptist was a cold match-up with a constant rain throughout its entirety. The Bison were the first to score, and saw the Weevils tie up the game momentarily, before taking back the lead for the remainder of the game. The Arkansas-Monticello offense would put up only 149 total offensive yards in the match-up. Arlie Lee contributed the lone offensive touchdown on the game for the Weevils, scoring on a 2-yard rush in the second quarter.

Austin Wadsworth and Caden Middleton combined for a 7-10 performance with 23 passing yards. Arlie Lee led UAM in receiving for five receptions and 17 total yards, with the longest being a 15-yarder. On the ground, Gary Ferman and Glen Cage led the Boll Weevils, having 20 and 19 carries each, respectively, for a net total of 140 yards.

Defensively, Damarous White stood above the rest with nine total tackles and five solo stops on the game.

Zachary Grisotti led the day in extra point attempts, going 1-1.

Post Game
Boll Weevil Head Coach Hud Jackson had this to say after the game: "Didn't play well enough to win. The weather is no excuse. Defensively we created some opportunities that we could not take advantage of. We have to push forward and play better to give ourselves a chance. Looking forward to being home next week. Eat'em up!"
