OK, the good news first: We won and had no injuries! At the end of everything, we won and have the chance to be better! And we will. Also, we are 1-0 in our division and nobody has scored on us this year! Let's keep that going!
The bad news: we waited until OT before playing the way we've been practicing. We have to get started sooner, right?
Just a couple of notes from the coaches:
Not everyone had the chance to carry the football because we couldn't score or get first downs. As we get better as a team and get more yards on each drive, more people will get the ball. I think Ty had three carries, Chris had less than 10, Tyler White had none, and Bobby Sampson had no passes. Much of this was due to the pressure from their defense. If we get better at the line, then the entire team will start having more fun!
Everybody played at least half of the game except Dillon Gossett. I forgot to put him back in on defense in OT. Hey, Dillon.... My fault, man. I apologize and will try not to make that mistake again. Lots of the defensive line switched around in order to get fresh bodies in and pressure their offense. Expect more of that this year.
When we get together on Thursday, expect us to practice on working the kinks out of our system. It's our first game. Coaches expect more mistakes during the first game and realize that the biggest progress you make is between Game 1 and Game 2. We are no different.
Coach Benjie and I really love having you guys on our team. We are always proud of you and would do anything for you. Now, let's come together and get better!
PS: Roy Douglas: That was a great display of hitting out there. Thanks for helping your brothers!!!!!
