Sandstorm in Lubbock, TX

Time for the Lubbock Monterey Plainsmen...For the past few years they have been a team full of talent and size. Now im not saying they dont have either this year, they are a great team. But lets just say that theyre about the smallest theyve been for a long time. If there is a time where we can capitalize and match them size wise, it would be this year. Its just a matter of who wants it more.

This game we will be focusing on dominating the line of scrimmage and stopping that midline offense scheme they run. It has always been very tricky to stop and they run it very well. I know Ive probably said this before but this week of practice was the hardest week of practice, not just physically but mentally as well. I cannot tell you how many reps we ran in a single practice. And if we didnt execute it right the first time than we ran it until it was played right. No matter how much my body told me that it was tired this week, I honestly think we are more prepared than ever. We plan to redeem ourselves from last years embarassing performance. Staying focused and intense one play at a time from go to whistle. Now this game will be a little different because it is a 4:00 game. There will be no Friday night lights, and it will be hot. Coach says it will be just like an afternoon practice and its up to us to get fired up. We cannot come out to the start of this game flat like we have been. We must take it to them from the very start get the early lead and play every quarter like the score is 0-0. Time to play this game the way the Amarillo High Sandies play it!
