Coach’s Outlook

It’s going to feel a little different going on the road after four straight weeks at home but we are excited

Avery is a big test for us to stay focused on each week and not get caught looking ahead, they return a lot from a team that gave us some issues early on last year so we have to be focused and know our assignments

We have to clean some things up offensively, especially up from last week

We are looking forward to a great game, Coach (Ethan) Farmer will have his boys ready to play and represent for Homecoming

Coach’s Outlook
