THOUGHTS ON UPCOMING SEASON

LOOK FOR THE 2008 SEASON TO BE AN EXCITING SEASON. TO BE SUCCESSFUL THE
PLAYERS NEED TO BE A COMMITTED, FUNDAMENTALLY SOUND AND DISCIPLINED. LOOK
TO MAKE STRIDES ON THE DEFENSIVE SIDE OF THE BALL AND BECOME A MORE
PHYSICAL AND AGGRESSIVE TEAM.
ON OFFENSE LOOK FOR TEAM THAT IS ALSO PHYSICAL AND PLACING ATHLETES IN
POSITONS TO BE SUCCESSFUL. GOALS ARE TO WIN THE LEAGUE, PLACE IN THE TOP 2 IN
DISTRICT AND ADVANCE INTO THE STATE PLAY-OFFS AND MAKE THE RUN.
LOOK FOR THE THREE RIVERS LEAGUE TO BE COMPETITIVE, WITH MORAN BEING THE
TEAM TO BEAT.
IN DISTRICT 3, I SEE THE TOUGHEST DISTRICT IN THE EASTERN PART OF THE STATE, WITH
MADISON BEING THE TEAM TO BEAT. THROUGHOUT THE STATE MADISON AND JETMORE
ARE THE TOP TEAMS IN DIVISION 1.
