What has been the key to your team’s success?
The key to my football team’s success are a number of contributions. First, the dedication on behalf on the coaching staff as well as the players. Second, the players’ ability to commit themselves on the field. Finally, the consistency on my football team to play at a high level of intensity through the season.
What will be the key to winning Thursday’s game?
The key to winning Thursday’s game is that the Mustangs will have to play aggressive and play up to the potential that we the coaches know they have. No one has actually witnessed our team play its best. On Thursday, the guys will have to reach a level of excellence we all have yet to see.
Who is your offensive player to watch?
Well, lets see. Although the Mustangs have a number of offensive weapons, I will let you in on one player in particular. His name is William Barnett, and he starts at running back. William is an eighth-grader and a second-year starter. He is a strong young man who is an all-purpose player.
Who is your defensive player to watch?
On the defensive side of the ball, the Mustangs once again are loaded with weapons. However, Tevis Clark, who is an eighth-grader and a second-year starter, plays the strong safety position. However, his diligence to the sport has allowed him to get better every game this season. Mr. Clark is a dedicated, charismatic, honor roll student with a spirit that won’t quit. On the other side of the ball, he commands the offense at quarterback.
What has this season shown you about your players’ dedication and commitment to excellence on the field?
This season has showed me the true dedication and commitment my guys have for the love and respect of the game of football. At the beginning of the season, there were so many of the players whom I had little idea of where I would position them. However, because they are so talented, I’m able to shuffle them around on both side of the ball. The players have extreme trust in the coaching staff, and the belief that the coaches had in the players. They are truly a great bunch of guys to work with. This season has shown me that hard work really pays off. If you take a season game by game, strategizing to win a game at a time, you don’t have to worry much about having a bad record. In summary, we truly live by our motto: “One team, one love, Mustangs forever.”
