Hello Coach Fox, tell us about this new football season.
Do you have new coaches this year?
Yes, we have two new coaches on our varsity staff and DeVon Sanders and Nick Patterson and two new coaches on our freshman staff and returning member Mike Coles and new member Todd Smith.
What is the game plan for the first game?
I’m not telling you that! We have some great offense of weapons that we are excited to try to spread the ball around two. Defensively, we have a fast aggressive unit that we hope will use their speed to overwhelm Bedford’s offense.
What are the long range plans for the season?
Our ultimate goal is always to use this experience of a tough football season as a platform from which to develop great young man. We hope our boys grow to be great servant leaders in the classroom, in the community, and on the field.
Are there any current injuries that will affect the beginning of the season?
We did suffer one very heartbreaking injury and senior Shannon Reese Jones. He is a young man that has worked very hard and had a random non-contract the injury on the first day of August. It’s always unfortunate to see someone who has worked very hard to prepare for it not be able to experience the reward of playing your games to senior year. He will still be a big part of our team as he remains around us and helps lead and influence his teammates with his energy.
Last year your team made it to the first round of the playoffs, will this team make it further?
I sure hope so. But we know very well that the secret to winning playoff games is just getting better one day at a time. We will worry about feeding Bedford first and then taking it from there.
