When you build up the expectations around a football program the way Wetumpka has, any loss can come as a surprise. However, the Indians are prepared to get back out on to the field to show they have not been shaken by the loss when they hit the road for the third consecutive week to take on Calera to open play in Class 6A Region 3.

“I thought we had a great practice (Monday) morning,” Wetumpka coach Tim Perry said. “We talked about how one game doesn’t have to define our season. We didn’t play well and no one knows that better than the players themselves. We’re disappointed but it’s not over. That has been the mentality.”
