We found out today what game speed really means, as we came up against a quick Wauwatosa East team with a very good running back. We fell 40 - 6, but only gave up 13 points in the second half. We began to see positive improvement already in the second half of today's game - something to build on.
We know we need to have better discipline in maintaining outside containment on defense, finishing tackles, and work on pass blocking. Coaching opportunities for practice this week.
The kids all said they had fun. We told our players they all gave a great effort. and we were impressed with how many of them came back from game injuries to head back in to play. I am very proud of the effort every one of our players gave today. You can all be very proud of your sons!
Thanks to the Varsity players that came today as well. Hopefully, you had a chance to meet them. We held t-shirt tosses, a team autographed football raffle (congratulations to Dawn Schultz), and generally had a good day - great weather, great fans, plus an 8th grade Orange victory.
Looking forward to seeing you at next week's game!
Coach Whitemore
