Hey Everyone,
Saturday was a great day for football and a great afternoon for the boys of Eagles Football! There was definitely a hint of football weather in the air, overcast, cool, and a little rain. Perfect football weather to keep the boys fresh and cool.
The boys overcame a slow start in the first half and BC’s second half scoring drive to later dominate the game. The O-line started opening up holes in the second half and Tony found them! The first half was a bit slow although the boys put together a great scoring drive on their second possession. I believe we burned 10 plays on that drive that ended in a touch down pass to Tony. The key play on the drive was a 4th down conversion when Colten found Timmy Ritter open on the right side and completed the pass for a first down. Zach Lingk showed some toughness gaining tough yards up the middle and Jack Thiele made some nice runs throughout the game as well.
This week we have focused on blocking assignments and defensive “jobs”. Watching the game film continues to show us many things we need to work on. Blocking assignments is definitely one that is high on the priority list. Not only with the O-line kids but also with the running backs as well. I believe we have much of this ironed out for the upcoming game with Green Mountain but as we all know not all defenses play the same! We will also continue to work on running better pass routes with both the backs and tight ends as we look to incorporate more of the passing game as the year goes on.
This is a good group of boys and we continue to see improvement in all of them. We have six weeks of practice behind us and all of the boys are showing much improvement. We will continue to get better as the season moves forward.
Remember boys, this is all we ask of you. Get better everyday in everything you do! Honor your parents, respect your teachers, fellow classmates, and coaches. Be a good example to others everyday!
Great Job Boys,
Coach Muller
