When you are fighting injuries on both the offensive and defensive lines, the level of difficulty increases exponentially.
That is precisely what the Fowlerville Gladiators were dealing with in a 10-7 loss against Williamston on Friday, Sept. 11.
"They (the offensive line) stepped up great." Fowlerville coach Zack Douglass said. "We got a couple of guys back there who are still banged up a little bit we got guys back who are going to be trending in the right direction."
Defensively it was a similar story for Fowlerville.
"We had some injuries come up defensively," he said. "We have had a different defensive every single week this year. Usually, you get into a defensive and that is what you master and go forward with but because of personnel and what opponents are doing we are literally switching our fronts every single week so far."

Kate Douglass continued her ****** ault on the 50m freestyle world record on Saturday, clocking a stunning 23.19sec to win Pan Pacific Championships gold with her second world mark of the day.
The American sliced three-tenths of a second off the world record of 23.49sec she set hours earlier in the heats in Irvine, California.
That broke the world record of 23.55sec set by fellow American Gretchen Walsh on June 28 in Rome -- where Walsh broke the world mark that Douglass had set on June 19.
Douglass finished a whopping 55-hundredths of a second ahead of Walsh, who took silver in 23.74sec. Australia's reigning world champion Meg Harris was third in 23.89.
Douglass returned less than half an hour later to claim silver in the 200m ****** troke won by Canadian Alexanne LePage in 2:21.73.

On Saturday morning, Kate Douglass casually set a world record in her 50-meter freestyle heat. Saturday night, she swam the race again — and absolutely demolished her own record.
Douglass sprinted to a gold medal in the event with a mind-boggling time of 23.19 seconds, pulling away to leave a sizable gap between her and the competition. The time shaved a full three-tenths of a second off her time from that morning's heat, and left the commentators completely speechless.
Douglass had been trading the record with fellow USA teammate Gretchen Walsh throughout the summer. After Douglass set a record of 23.59 in Indianapolis on June 19, Walsh beat the record just eight days later, recording a time of 23:55.
On Saturday, Douglass took that stat back with a 23:49 — before smashing it hours later.
Walsh came in second on Saturday, picking up the silver with a time of 23:74. Australia's Meg Harris came in third with a time of 23.89.

Kate Douglass shattered the women's 50m freestyle world record on Saturday, clocking 23.49sec in the heats at the Pan Pacific Championships to set a tantalizing showdown with former record-holder Gretchen Walsh.
Douglass improved on the world mark of 23.55sec that fellow-American Walsh set on June 28 at the Sette Colli Trophy in Rome.
Walsh's mark had improved on the world record of 23.59 that Douglass herself had set on June 19 -- and Douglass said that she believed she could still improve technically.
"I definitely wasn't expecting that," Douglass told Swimming World magazine. "I still think there are things I could clean up."
Douglass's impressive performance came little more than 12 hours after she delivered the second-fastest 100m freestyle in history swimming the lead-off leg on the United States's victorious 4x100m free relay.

Germany's Johannes Liebmann and American Kate Douglass set swimming world records on Saturday, dazzling at events held in Paris and California.
Liebmann, 19, knocked nearly four seconds off the men's 1500m freestyle record as he claimed his first international gold medal at the European Aquatics Championships in Paris.
He completed the distance in 14 minutes 26.79 seconds - 3.88secs faster than the previous record which was set by American Bobby Finke at the 2024 Olympics, also held in the French capital.
Liebmann became the first swimmer to go under 14:30 for the distance as he slashed the most time off the record since Australia's Grant Hackett in 2001.
Three-time Olympic champion Hackett took more than seven seconds off when he swam 14:34.56 - a record which stood for 10 years.

After missing the 100 freestyle world record by the smallest margin in swimming last night, Kate Douglass broke the 50m freestyle world record in prelims Saturday morning, and she crushed it.
Touching in 23.49, Douglass torched through 50 meters from the moment she left the blocks.
Douglass' swim marks the latest swing in a world record that's changed hands between Douglass and training partner Gretchen Walsh all summer long. The two former Virginia standouts have been trading the fastest 50 free in history back since Douglass first broke the record in June.
Walsh had the record most recently, and now it's back with Douglass, fueling a rivalry between the two training partners that has quietly become one of the most compelling storylines in the sport this year.
The swim adds an extraordinary week for Douglass at Pan Pacs. She opened the meet with a silver medal in the 50 **** erfly, then teamed up with Walsh, Van Mathias and Will Modglin to break the world record in the mixed 4x100 medley relay that same night.

Gretchen Walsh has broken the 50-meter freestyle world record, becoming the fastest female sprinter in the history of swimming.
Less than two weeks after Kate Douglass stunned the swimming world with a new world record in the 50 free, Gretchen Walsh has re-established a new fastest time.
The 23-year-old American swam a 23.55 at the 67th Sette Colli meet in Rome on Sunday. The Sette Colli meet has long been one of the jewels of the European summer swimming calendar, and Walsh has now cemented herself into its history.
Walsh and Douglass are current training partners and were teammates at the University of Virginia. The two helped lead one of the most dominant women's swimming programs in NCAA history. They've trained together, raced together, and now both broken the same world record.
Walsh brought home four medals from 2024 Paris Games, including two golds, and her post-collegiate trajectory has been remarkable. Walsh also owns the world record in the 100 meter **** erfly and holds the 16 fastest times ever recorded in the event.
