THE START OF THE HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL SEASON IS HERE. CLASS 4A GETS UNDERWAY THIS WEEKEND WHILE OUTSIDE OF 4A THE OFFICIAL START TO THE SEASON FOR THE OTHER CLASSES IS NEXT WEEK. CODY BRONCS ARE ONE OF THOSE TEAMS THAT WILL BEGIN REGULAR SEASON PLAY IN SEPTEMBER WHEN THEY OPEN UP AGAINST RIVERTON. THE BRONCS ARE HARD AT WORK PREPARING FOR THE REGULAR SEASON AND HEAD COACH MATT MCFADDEN HAS BEEN IMPRESSED BY WHAT HE’S SEEN JUST TWO WEEKS INTO PRACTICE.
“WE’VE GOT A STRONG SENIOR CLASS. AND THEY’RE DOING AMAZING THINGS. THERE’S SOME KIDS THAT I’M… I’M REALLY EXCITED TO SEE. WE’VE HAD A LOT OF KIDS IMPRESS ME AND I’M EXCITED TO SEE THEM. OUR YOUNG KIDS, WE’VE GOT SOME YOUNG SOPHOMORES COMING THROUGH THAT ARE GOING TO NEED TO GET SOME REPS EARLY AND THEY REALLY IMPRESS ME. WE NEED TO SEE HOW THEY DO AGAINST ANOTHER OPPONENT, BUT I’M EXCITED FOR A LOT OF KIDS.”
AS THE BRONCS INCH ONE STEP CLOSER TO REGULAR SEASON PLAY COACH MCFADDEN TALKS ABOUT THE TEAMS PREPARATION THUS FAR.
“YOU WIDDLE DOWN FROM 2 A DAY PRACTICES TO 1 A DAY AND REALLY WE START SHORTENING THAT UP AND INCREASE INTENSITY. CERTAIN SITUATIONS ARE PERSONNEL DRIVEN SO IT’S NOT EVERYBODY OUT THERE AND WE DIVIDE OUR TEAM UP BETWEEN JUNIORS AND SENIORS. ONE ON A FIELD AND THEN FRESHMEN AND SOPHOMORES ON THE OTHERS. THERE’S SOME CHANGES, DEFINITELY IN THE COURSE OF A GAME WEEK. NEXT WEEK WILL TRULY BE OUR GAME WEEK AND WE’LL START PREPARING FOR THE OPPONENT.”
COACH MCFADDEN IS EXCITED TO SEE WHAT THIS TEAM IS CAPABLE OF.
“WE’VE GOT SOME QUARTERBACK AND WIDE RECEIVER COMBINATIONS THAT I THINK WILL BE IMPRESSIVE AND FUN TO WATCH. MENTIONED NICK TALICH IN THE BACKFIELD, WE’VE GOT SOME YOUNG BACKS COMING UP. OUR D-LINE IS VERY TALENTED, THEY CAN GET AFTER PEOPLE. I’M REALLY HAPPY WITH THE WAY OUR LINEBACKERS HAVE BEEN PLAYING TOO AND OUR SAFETIES. SO, I COULDN’T NAIL IT DOWN TO ONE POSITION. I THINK IT’LL BE FUN AND I THINK YOU’RE GOING TO SEE A LOT OF FIREWORKS EITHER WAY.”
YOU CAN SEE THE BRONCS KICK-OFF REGULAR SEASON PLAY FRIDAY SEPTEMBER 6TH AT RIVERTON. GAME TIME IS SCHEDULED FOR 7PM.
