Season Summary

We started off the year in camp with better numbers than last year and actually finished with more than we had in 7th grade. Some key players were missing from the 2018 roster that had to be filled with athletes that had never played football for the most part. The first game would take a serious toll on our experience. We defeated Roland-Story 34-12, but lost three players in the process, that, of course went both ways. The next game against Webster City didn’t go well, as people had to be moved around and put into positions they were not inclined for. The third game with Hampton-Dumont saw the worst of everything- poor effort coupled with playing scared. This was the bottom! The Humboldt game was a huge turning point in the season. This was a team that had beat us the year before when we were twice as strong as we were now. Our guys fought them every inch of the way and in the end we tied 26-26. The final game against Clear Lake was a lot of fun as we held them out after getting ourselves into a couple really bad jams. We developed a couple tackles that had no experience and were being pushed ten yards off the line of scrimmage into to some decent blockers and Defensive Linemen. Really proud of this group for rising up from the bottom to finish strong with the players we had left.
