Auburndale Eagles Football Season Preview
Auburndale Eagles Football Schedule
Offense: key returning players (All the below players started every game last year except Evan Scholl who started the last two games and ran very well.
Adam Dorshorst (OL), Mason Rachu (OL), Tim Schmitt (TE/WR), Trayton Weber (QB – over 2,000 yards of total offense), Sloan Welch (OL), Alex Willfahrt (WR), Lucas Yeske (TE/WR), Aden Cherney (WR)
Evan Scholl (RB)
Defense: key returning players (Blake Raab started the last two games last year. The rest mentioned started most games are almost all the games)
Conference outlook
Colby will be solid again but they lose a lot of talent. Edgar will be very good and in a position to challenge Colby for the Conference Championship. Abbotsford is going to be solid as usual. Marathon and Pittsville will both be very much improved. We are hoping to be in the upper half and if things fall right we could be mentioned with the top teams.
Keys to your success on offense
Balance and playing with speed. We have a lot of experience returning and that will hopefully allow us to be very confident.
Keys to your success on defense
We need to be true to our keys and not get lost with actions and misdirection. We need to be fundamentally sound and we need to be aggressive.
What is your football program all about? How do you measure success?
We measure success by having kids that care for each other. It is important that we perform as a team and be inclusive. Winning is important to measure one’s work ethic and standards. But as far as wins and losses, it isn’t talked about much at all. We talk about the importance of giving everything of yourself, being coachable, and having high standards.
Coach’s comments: anything else you’d like to share?
We have a really nice group of kids. Our numbers are up to 46 kids in the program, but our success will still depend on our health.
