Season Summary

7th Grade: This is one of those seasons in which the record doesn’t necessarily tell the whole truth. We were in every game in the 4th quarter, and some of those games could have gone either way. The guys played hard and did everything we asked of them during the games, but it really came down to us always being a little bit smaller, slower, and weaker physically speaking. We went against a lot of big physical teams and we didn’t match up, except for Eagle Grove. One of the positives I take from the season is if we can hang with the bigger schools now when we are physically the underdog, it’s going to make for an exciting season next year when we catch up. Two areas that hurt us were injuries and attendance. We can’t control who gets hurt and when, but we had a lot of key players not play the last game. Attendance we can control, and I thought this was the number one issue working against us this year. Players picking and choosing when to come to practice, or having to stay late for discipline or academic issues completely messed up the rhythm of practice. If the guys are serious about being a better football team next year, it starts with this issue.
