West Loyalty

Another Win For West!

Two weeks, two victories! We are very excited about how well our kids played this week. This is what we have envisioned for our West Football Program for a while. The game was highlighted by a HUGE goal line stand, when Lincoln Way Central had the ball first and goal from the 6 inch line. Our defense stopped the Knights 4 times from that 6 inch line and gave the ball back to our offense. Going into double overtime and getting the victory has really given our kids some huge confidence going into our Friday night game this week vs. Lockport.

West Victory!

Although this was not our best played game of the year, we will take this victory anyday. The West/Central rivalry has been reborn and we are very excited that we were able to start the rivalry with this victory! As I told the guys though, if we do not come out this week and have a great week of practice and get the victory on Friday night the win against Joliet Central does not mean that much. If you can, encourage the guys to come out and work hard and have a great week of practice! Since the game is on Friday night we will have our normal late night practice on Thursday night. Here is the practice schedule for this week. GO TIGERS!

Texas Roadhouse Extra Effort Dinner

Thanks to Mark Ittersagen from NFP Fundraising, the guys that were recognized as Extra Effort Award winners were able to go to Texas Roadhouse and enjoy a dinner free of charge. It was a great dinner and the boys left stuffed thanks to Texas Roadhouse and Mark.

Homecoming Game

We, as a coaching staff, asked our kids to compete for 4 quarters this week and I think we did. However, as the kids know, we made too many mistakes to come out on top this week. As I told the guys, I was happy that we competed against one of the top programs in the state for 4 quarters, but we are not satisfied with how we finished the game. This week, we compete and finish!
