It's been very challenging competing with the larger schools in the league. We've (former Pretz assistant) always struggled up front and to be honest, that's where we've lost quite a few games. Quite a few teams are able to two-platoon where as we've had in some years, 6-8 guys go both ways and we've worn down. We've had good skill talent, but lack the size and numbers up front to compete consistently against a predominately 6A-7A league. The community is getting more challenging more because the town is going downhill with lots of jobs being lost over the past 5-10 years. There are good people in the building, but quite often the challenges getting kids with no support system to buy in has been tough.
The next two years could be decent...we return the conference MVP (Major Dedmond, QB and all-state wrestler) and quite a few jrs who got a lot of experience. The sophomore team went 7-2 as well, so there is some hope.
