It was satisfying that our Senior group could make that run up to the victory bell in Memorial Hall on Saturday. It took a lot of character to shake the W & L loss off and not live in a “could have been world.” I will appreciate the kids who finish and the people who support them along the way. At 6-2, we are exactly where we were a year ago, only we will be facing a better R-MC team on the road who has had the extra week to prepare for us. The open date for them has allowed their new quarterback to get comfortable, and I have always felt they have been one of the more physical teams in our league as of late. All the pressure is on them though, because a loss would be fatal to their post-season hopes.
We will meet with the kids on Monday and try to take the same approach we did two years ago when we went and played Catholic who at 8-1 only needed to beat BC to advance, but tightened up and could not finish off the Eagles. We have enough talent to beat anyone on our schedule, and with nothing to lose, can play loose and with a clear spirit. People with ability and nothing to lose can be a dangerous crowd to compete against. We have not done our best collective work yet as a total team in 2010. Will need to do it to Saturday in Ashland to beat a RMC team with so much on the line.
On a second note our JV team won again on Sunday night at Shenandoah 33-8. It was one of the more impressive JV performances of the year. Great to see the young kids playing hard and well.
