Well our season ended with a loss to Saukville, 19-0. But our guys played with great effort...we were missing a large group of players and a lot of guys had to play positions that they have not played in a game before.
We also tried some new things for fun...some trick plays, and some plays that we made up during timeouts to try. Some were successful, some weren't. But it was fun to give it a shot.
All in all, I would say this was a successful season. Every year our goal as a youth team is not driven by winning, but by teaching fundamentals and improving as the year goes by. I think it was pretty evident that our team at the end of the season was a lot better than the team that started the season, and by the end we were playing with a lot more confidence.
This team also did a pretty good job of avoiding mental mistakes, especially the last half of the season. Most of the problems that we had towards the end were physical things, and as a coach you know that those issues will always be there in some form.
I encouraged all of the players to stick with football next year and beyond, and I hope that they do. Hopefully they all had fun this season, I know I did.
I'll see you at the banquet.
