We’re excited as a program to be in the playoffs for the second year in a row and to be able to play a familiar opponent in Amity. Having an extra day to prepare for Amity, we changed our practice up a bit, and the team has done a nice job of remaining focused.
We will be missing senior running back Manny Zamora due to injury, so we have added a few new components to the offense for this week to help get our ground game going better.
Our message to the kids this past week has been to focus on where we are, not on how we got here. What is important in the playoffs is that we remember that we worked hard to prepare ourselves for this very situation, and now this is our opportunity to take advantage and play another game.
Every team in the playoffs has strong and weak parts to their system and is now 0-0, and every team has injuries. Our goal is just to go 1-0 this week.
