Whitehall’s football season is in a bit of a free-fall.

With their latest, 30-14 loss to Allentown Central Catholic, the Zephyrs have slipped to 4-4. That loss extended their losing streak to three games.

Whitehall will travel to Bethlehem Thursday night for a showdown with Liberty, which is coming off a 21-6 loss to Emmaus.

The Hurricanes have dropped six straight since they began the season with a 2-0 record.

So, something has to give here.

Whitehall head coach Andy Marino plans to stay the course.

“Congrats to Central,” said Marino. “They won a hard-fought game. We have a quick turnaround and have to get ready for Liberty.

“Our kids have kept their work ethic, and our practices have been good. We just have to keep our focus.”

Senior quarterback Trey Dogmanits, who completed 13 of 28 passes for 201 yards with a touchdown, doesn’t want anyone to judge the team based on their record alone.

“I think that even with our record the past three games, it does not show the state of our team right now,” said Dogmanits. “We have played decently in the first three quarters, but we weren’t able to finish and win.

“I think our spirits will be higher going into Liberty.”
