Every Day Every Play

We found out what happens when we have a distracted week of practice. We are a team right now that needs to practice well during the week to win on the weekends. I was talking with Brandon Allen after his game on Saturday night (Brandon is one of my former players who is playing for the #1 ranked team in the nation in Division II Grand Valley State University). I told him about how our week of practice was and how we played, his comment after that was priceless... "You win games during the week." The kids have been challenged this past Saturday. Every day, every play! Let's finish this season with a BANG!

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!
