Coach's quote on season: "We plan to battle each and every day. We did not finish the way we wanted to last season. We are set out to have a much stronger finish with our goal to play a full 10-game schedule and compete for a league title. Our staff is excited about this group as we have several athletes with big-play capability and leadership.  They have done a great job of preparing for this season during the summer months and they are eager and excited to get going with our season!  Numbers are an issue but it's small school football and we will take our 20 kids into battle each and every week and compete and give it our best shot."
