This weeks’ title seems appropriate as it is indicative of the 2009 varsity Football

Team. Without question, the continuous goal of “getting better at something” is

 getting accomplished through each contest. However, want you don’t want to see is a

 let down is basic football skills such as ball security and tackling. Poor tackling and

 five turnovers will get almost any team beat no matter the opponent!

Harrison’s team was a more experienced team and as their coach stated in the local

paper, “our 18 year old players took advantage of their 15 year old players”. As the

coach of the young team, I need to very careful as does all of my staff that reffering to

out team as “young” does not turn into a “crutch”. At times Friday, the educated

Football fan could clearly see the potential this team has. As crazy as this may sound,

I was much more please with our overall effort this past week in our loss than with

our win last week vs. Talawanda. Don’t get me wrong, I love to win more than anyone

alive. I told the players this one Saturday. But this statement can be interpreted in the

wrong way if I am not careful. I will make sure it received as I intended to be!

 

 Loveland brings in a team with more firepower than Harrison did-no question! But

this is one of those weeks that make high school sports exciting! This is our biggest

rival and anyone who follows sports knows exactly what this means! We were clearly

the better team a year ago when we met last-at least on paper! The only problem with

that was that Loveland evidently did not read the same paper. Coach Marlatt of

Loveland was quoted in the paper as saying, “this win over Kings is my best since I

have been coaching at Loveland” with their upset win in 2008.

 

 This week, without question, the tables will be turned. Lets’ hope our players don’t

read that same paper!

 

 

See you on the field!
