After his Morrison Mustangs' jarring 29-28 loss to Erie-Prophetstown last Friday, Cory Bielema put in some extra film study over the weekend.

The fifth-year head coach of the defending Class 2A champs watched "Rocky III" in the comfort of his home. For those who (unfortunately) haven't seen it, Rocky Balboa, fresh off an inspiring title-bout victory over Apollo Creed, is brought back down to earth in punishing fashion by James "Clubber" Lang.

That sobering moment reminded Bielema of his team's inability to protect a 28-8 lead against the upstart Panthers.
