Don't Kick My Cones!

In this episode, the team learns that dropping the ball is both a metaphor and the reality of our own situation in that game. The defense had a major let down, the offense literally dropped the ball, and we had to figure out what that means for us. Throughout this ordeal, new people emerged as valuable pieces, and while we had a let down, we found out that we have some untapped wells of talent, and we're excited to develop them and see how they can help us make a run.  Some key players had some humbling experiences, and even though that game was a stinker, it forced us to ash the hard questions that help you get better. We hope you enjoy the episode.

We are looking to redeem our two previous seasons where Como Park beat us. The team is also trying to avoid the "Central Let Down," and keep their eye on the much bigger prize. The game starts slow, and the defense struggles early, the offense sputters and we find ourselves having to ask some hard questions. We rally, and finish 42-8 and build our confidence. The question raised by this, however, is at what cost? Listen to find out! 

Week 4 brings us to the midpoint of the regular season and the opportunity to play our #1 rival: Central. The team is now further depleted losing one of our top running backs and olineman for at least a week in the Johnson game. We are not at full power, but no one will weep for us so we have to find a way to build a game plan that will help us be successful.  The game comes with a lot of adversity, we have to find it within ourselves to figure things out to get a win.  See how we get our come from behind victory versus central

In this Episode the team is needing to rebound from a sloppy week of play from the offense that led to defeat at the Hands of Bloomington Kennedy. As we go into the beginning of our league play against Johnson, we are eyeing big goals but are set back by a key injury in practice, and are left to figure out what we are going to do to get the win and life to fight another week. When asked by a reporter about "if we felt like this was a get back on track game," Coach Brown responds, "yes, but not in the way you think, we needed to get back to doing things our way and not focus on the win."  Johnson week was an opportunity for us to get back to ourselves and find our path. 

In this episode we debrief our 7-14 loss to Bloomington Kennedy, look through a challenging week, discuss something internal struggles, and remind our players and coaches that how you do anything is how you do everything. We learn why focus is so critical, why it's such an important thing to learn from failure, and how to metabolize hard lessons.
