Well, we won our first game of the year against our rival 62-0. I was very pleased by our defensive effort. NOW, we will be playing a team this week we have never faced. I have heard they are not very organized but they are gonna have a couple of very athletic kids and will just play backyard ball but with some fast slashers.
I had to ground our kids in the fundamentals and keeping with our assignments (more than usual, all the cutbacks, reverse's open field etc.) but I am very weary of how this is gonna go. We are a small private school and they are a public school that pools from 475-500 students. Im hoping our discipline and the execution can pull us thru. I am confident we will throw up points on O, but me being the DC am a little worried. (we looked good in practice all week against our stud, who will probably be better than theirs, he will play Div I)
Any advice to help calm my nerves ? Am I missing anything, I know its a little late all we have left is walkthru Monday, we play Tues.
