Game Two: Keep Improving!

The Taft freshmen had some first game jitters last week hosting Crowne Pointe but there were some bright points that the team hopes to build on! The defense showed some good fight minus with some big tackles from DE Wesley Genao and LB Leo Worden. Matthew Slotowski just missed a pick six moment. A few dropped passes on offense stalled our drives that could have tightened up the game. Going into this week the players and coaches are big push to stop the run at the line of the scrimmage and clean up their route running/blocking schemes on offense to open up the scoring! With many players getting their first football game ever Saturday under the belt look for the "House that T Built" to be rocking Thursday night as we kick off game two!!!! Hope we see you there.

First Game Comes Amidst A Heat Wave

Taft Freshmen will have a tough game to start their season against Indiana Power House Crown Pointe. The challenge was made even tougher by being held inside Wednesday and Thursday to deal with the tremendous heat index's which reached 120 in Chicago. The boys made the best of it getting is some conditioning work, using the tackle mats bought through the rugby team's Blast fundraiser a year ago and walk throughs in the gym on offense and defense to stay sharp. The boys will get in one more practice Friday that will be longer then typical day before a game practice to make sure they are prepared for Saturday morning. Freshmen Leo Worden will be long snapping for varsity program tonight so hopefully he gets some good scouting on their offensive formations for his duties at middle line backer Saturday morning. GO EAGLES!
