We had a pretty good practice today, we need to get better every day. Bellwood is a good team, we just have to keep getting better. The offense is coming around, we are starting to know what we are doing.
All the seniors are trying to get everybody to work hard so we can all get better, just to make practice intense and be leaders.
The scrimmage on Saturday morning went pretty good, We figured out who was going to play some positions, who wants to play and who is going to work hard to make our team better.
The buddy system, we did today. My buddy is Jared Templeton. We learn some stuff about each player. It helps bring our team together, so we meet everyone and everyone knows you.
If I could play only one position, it would be on defense. Because I like ti attack and hit people.
The Bellwood game is a pretty good thing, because we’re only down the road. It’s been a big rivalry over the years. It’s one step to a successful season. But that’s all we are looking forward to right now.
