As a team, we talked about starting the year strong. We thought 3-0 would be something fabulous for the kids. We knew Laurel and Indian River were the class of the conference, but we talked about a fast start. |
From everything I have heard, this is the first time we ever beat Dover, |
He's a load and runs hard inside. He's also one of our middle linebackers. |
He's not like some of the quarterbacks we had on those title teams, but he competes and gets the job done. |
It was a hard-fought football game and closer than the score shows. We got a couple turnovers, and there were a few penalties that hurt Dover. Our kids were definitely energized. |
That was a highlight for me and it reaffirms what I was doing well. And [it] let me focus in the off-season on things I needed to improve. |
The attitude was so good at the end of last year, |
The Henlopen South is loaded with playoff caliber teams. The division is as strong overall this year as I can remember. Hopefully, we will be competitive enough to be a challenger among teams with high goals. We have excellent overall team speed and we have depth at skill positions. |
The kids have a mission this year. I'm not quite sure what that mission is yet, but they are ready for the challenge. |
We did get pushed around at times by Dover, but our kids are relentless. We have to be that way. We shift a lot before the snap on defense. Hull runs like a deer. He is all over the line. He might line up on the nose or as a tackle. |
We didn't have that team speed the last two years, |
We have a lot of young kids, but they are hard-nosed. I did not realistically think we would start this well, but we're not complaining. |
