A New Season
Last Friday night we started our “New Season” with a convincing win over Amelia, 45-0. Offensively we seem to have taken what they gave us. Amelia forced us to pass the ball in order to beat them, so we did exactly that! The run game was affective but we did not produce the numbers we had anticipated. This past week was one filled with enthusiasm as the players and coaches anticipated the start of FAVC play. Each and every practice was upbeat while the players worked hard daily. This week will be much of the same thing.
This week is homecoming week. Turpin will be a stiff challenge as they are the #3 ranked team in all of Ohio and the #1 ranked team in Cincinnati in divisions 2-6. Their offense is without question the strength of their team. They have 4 very talented “skill players” that can hurt you at any given point. The Spartan defense and kicking games are very solid as well.
This year, the FAVC Cardinal seems to be more balanced than ever with Turpin clearly being the class of the league. The remaining teams on our schedule, Wilmington, Little Miami, and Walnut Hills, looked to be very even and very competitive! The first half of the season’s schedule has hopefully prepared us for the remaining games. As coaches, it is fun to watch the players improve and grow in confidence. This has happened across the board with all of our players.
Friday night will be a great evening of not only football, but we look forward to visiting with our Alumni Football players as they enjoy the catered social in the north end zone prior to the game. I am quite sure they will be exchanging their favorite “war stories” while getting caught up on all of the current events at Kings Local.
See you at the game!
