Season Summary

7th grade always seems like your starting at ground zero and that’s where we started this season as well. After two big wins over CL and HD, the turning point for this team came in a loss to Webster City. We did not play well at all. WC scored 8 points in the last 1:06 of the game and that was tough to swallow for all of us. We really ramped up our execution after that and seemed to make incredible leaps of improvement, adding new plays each week. By the time we reached Humboldt, the last game, we were operating at a very high level of execution and you could see that player confidence was high.

One of the big highlights this season was that the 7th grade had nobody ineligible for any games this year! That has never happened before. This team also knew how to run more plays than any team I have coached at the MS 7th grade level. This means they were studying a lot- outside of practice. Overall, we really enjoyed coaching this team and all of us are looking forward to building on what we accomplished this season as we try to go undefeated in 2017!
