Playing big teams plays a huge roll. Take this years first game vs Tuscola. Our boys played hard. Probably 13-14 kids played the entire game. They were exhausted and worn out. Several were sore and beat up through the week. Going into the smoky game I felt like several just looked tired. No energy. That takes a toll on a small team. Energy level looked better vs North Henderson and now our boys look like they are getting back to where they need to be.
