Well our 36 game winning streak came to an end on Friday. We lost 16-10 in a hard fought game. We made too many mental errors while they made the plays they needed to win the game. We are still a good team I think, we just can't make the tiny errors. One of the things I heard from the varsity coaches is that we played like we practiced.
For some of these players this is the first time they have lost in high school. This will be a good life lesson for these boys though. You aren't always going to win in life. It is how you respond to adversity that will determine how your life goes. This also might have been the best thing for these boys. No longer have pressure of the winning streak on our backs. Humbles them a little bit and they have to learn how to deal with adversity. Plus now we have been in a tough dogfight of a game and know what we need to do to respond in a game.
Watching the game film was frustrating because we had 4 trips in their red zone and came away with no points. Once again the little things are important of football. It reminds me of the Inch by Inch speech in Any Given Sunday. We missed our opportunities by inches. Now we gotta get ready for Highland of Idaho. We can't worry about the past now it is time to go into the future.
