Season Summary
8th Grade: Confidence, Confidence, Confidence- this team has no confidence in themselves. As far as improvement they made great strides in skills but often times those skills were not used during the game. In 8th grade, they were 10 times the team they were in 7th grade. One thing that did not change is the self full-filling prophecy of defeat. Whether we were doing well or doing poorly we always seemed to miss that key tackle or block and either have a turnover or lose 15-20 yards after moving the ball very easily. I understand that we were short on numbers, athleticism and speed, but I know we could have done better. I just don’t believe we reached our potential, maybe its because week after week I kept believing in them and I still wish I could coach them one more time and try and get it out of them.
