Positives
Even though we played poorly in
our last two games, I believe that we made some improvement this season
and I believe that we will continue to make progress this off season and
bring our football program back to where it belongs. We have a good
number of returning players who gained valuable experience this year, and
if they work harder in the weight room this off-season, we will see
results. This past off-season we saw great improvement over the past
few seasons, we need to see even more improvement and commitment. We
showed an ability to move the football this season, next season we will
need to show more consistency and better execution in order to be a great
offensive team. Defensively, we also improved. We showed that
we are capable of playing good defense, but just like on offense, we must
be more consistent and have the ability to dictate the tempo to an
offense. I believe that we must be more aggressive, we have
emphasized playing "downhill" this season and we have to
continue to improve in that area. Our overall outlook for next
season is good. Our schedule changes as we will play GCMS,
Heyworth, Fieldcrest and Watseka next season, and we lose Blue
Ridge, EPG, Momence and Tremont.
On a personal note, I would like to thank all the parents, players and
fans for their support this season. As always, it was an enjoyable
experience to work with these young men. I am already looking
forward to next season.
GO MUSTANGS!
