Rangely game

After losing their home opener at Norwood on Friday, the Mancos Blue Jays (0-1) are preparing to take on the Rangely Panthers (1-0).
Giving up big plays cost the Blue Jays against Norwood, so co-head coaches Bill Parson and Jason Gardner spent this week addressing problem areas.
'After Norwood, we're trying to clean up some of our mistakes,' Parsons said at practice on Tuesday. 'We're working on our timing and some of the things that looked a little rough.'
On Tuesday, while Parsons worked with the quarterbacks and running backs, Gardner spent time with the offensive line going over zone blocking schemes.
'We're working on technique and taking care of individual assignments,' he said. '(Rangely) is prepared. They're a tough team.'
The Blue Jays will not be traveling this week, as Rangely will be coming to Mancos, with kickoff scheduled for 7 p.m. on Friday, Sept. 4.
