In the Deep End 

Coldwater has been back and forth between quarterbacks since the beginning of the season, so going into this game it was hard to tell who would be starting at the position. The Cardinals were able to put up 21 points against the Railsplitters but fell short of the win. Senior Quarterback Zach Coffing started and had three touchpasses with two of them going to Wide Receiver Dayton Ennis. Coldwater defense struggled mightily with penalties giving the Railsplitters free yards.
