The First Game was a Great Learning Experience.

The first game against Lake Country Red was a terrific learning experience for our kids. For most of them this is their first game action ever. They played hard and with heart. On offense, we moved the ball well especially early in the game. On defense, we had some lapses but overall played pretty well. Based on this game there is a lot to build on for the future.

Our next game is against West Bend East, which will be played at Trenton Town Hall which is located just east of West Bend. The directions so Trenton Town Hall: 45 North to the Hwy 33 exit. Turn Right (East) onto Hwy 33. Continue on Hwy 33 until you pass through West Bend. The field is located on the Right (South) side of Hwy 33 near the airport. By the way, it is an away game so make sure the players wear their black pants with their white jerseys. Arrive at the field no later than 10:45 am for warm-ups because the game is schedule to begin at 12 PM.

First Game Preperation Starts this Week

We have been practicing for 5 weeks now and for 3 1/2 weeks as a team. This coming Saturday we will have our first taste of game action in Hartland against Lake Country Red who, undoubtedly, will present a great challenge for us. We do not resemble the same team that scrimmaged Germantown just 1 1/2 weeks ago. We have improved in every aspect of our game and continue to make great strides. That being said, we have a long way to go to be competitive and will attempt to overcome our size deficiency by being creative both defensively and offensively.

This past Tuesday, we had our first Special Teams practice, which we installed our kick-off, kick return, punt and punt return teams. The kids caught on very quickly and were very enthusiastic about their roles on special teams. Going forward we will try to emphasize the importance of special teams because they make up 1/3 of the game and can change the entire complexion of a game. They can also change the field position battle, which is critical especially at the youth level where every yard counts.
