Week 6: South Titans

Sometimes you must lose the small battles in order to win the war. We lost the battle to Derby last week, but it has shown us how much we need to improve if we want to win the 5A state title. Our recent practices have not been great and the game against Derby showed that. Coach Trail has changed up the practices so that we get more time in individual period. This is going to give us a chance to work on specific skills such as taking correct steps, picking up blocks, getting off blocks, and running the correct routes. The intensity of practice is picking up and so is the competiveness. Coach informed us that throughout the week we will be doing competitions between offense and defense; loser gets the chance to improve their conditioning.

This week the South Titans are coming to our place. The game will be a good chance to get playing time for lots of guys on the team. So make sure to come out and support your Golden Eagles this Friday night.
