Let's get ready for Knappa RAYMOND!!

There is a very good reason why teams schedule non-league games at the beginning of the year — to perfect your play before games start counting towards tickets to the postseason.
I'd like to think that we've done a good job this year doing just that. It's a good thing too, because next week we start our league games playing Raymond, who just crushed Willipa Valley 31-14.
They will definitely be our toughest opponent yet, and we will need to use all of our time in practice this week wisely if we want to dominate in this game like we have the previous two.
I've speant a lot of time wondering what I could write about the Knappa game, and I'm having a hard time coming up with anything because all I can think about is tearing apart the Raymond Seagulls on Friday. I know we can destroy them, all we have to do is go out and do it. They're big, fast, strong, quick and physical. We have to be even bigger, faster, stronger, quicker, and more aggresive than we've ever been and I can't wait to show them that's what we are.
As for last Friday, we honestly didn't come out as fired up as we did against Ilwaco, and it showed on the field. Two turnovers and 8 penalties are about as many as we'd like in about 4 games, but it happened all at once Friday. I'm pretty sure we were looking at three 1st and 20's in one quarter alone. But at the end of the day we put up 47 points as opposed to the 6 that they scored late into the 4th quarter on our jv squad.
Our defense was leaps and bounds better than the previous week. I'm pretty sure I could count on one hand the amout of first downs they managed in the game. QB/SS Dustin Eaton and RB/DE Robert Eaton again terrorized Knappa's defense on the ground through massive holes our line opened up. WR/DB Nick Strange made a very tough catch in triple coverage in the endzone. Way to fight for the ball bro. RB/DB Sam Scrabeck stepped in at QB in the second half and his first throw was a beautiful 30 yard fade to WR/DB Brenden Greenfield who once again made the Logger's secondary pay with his speed. All in all, we did many things right, but now all we're focused on is fixing the small things in preperation for our next opponent. Should be one hack of a game!!
