Our expectations for our seniors and this years football team is to continue the great legacy that coach Vines has built the past 31 years. We want to continue to play great defense and have solid special teams performances. Our offense will be new to our program. It will consist of a no huddle, one back, spread attack. Offensively we want to set the tempo of the game, have ball security and control down and distances. Defensively we want to be known as a team that pursues the ball. We want to control the line of scrimmage and be consistent with tackles for losses and take a ways. We want to continue the great Airedale tradition.

I believe we have had a good off-season and the kids have got a great attitude going into summer workouts. We will have to replace nine starters on defense and four on offence which will make the 2007 season a challenge for the players and the coaches. We must find the right positions for the kids and this will come during summer practices. Northside has great tradition and I believe we will fight to gain the respect of the rest of the conference.

I am in my seventh year as head coach of Rogers High School. 2006 will always be a special year for our entire community, going undefeated through the 7A West Conference and to the State Championship game will not soon be forgotten. It was a year that brought the community together, a year where we were published in 3 national magazines, a year that we beat our rivals (double overtime) in front of 12,000 fans. A year when Rogers was highlighted on "Faith on the Field" a special program on the Pig Trail by Bo Mattingly. It is hard to have that kind of success every year, however our expectations are high every year. Last year was one of those years that everything and everyone just came together and made it happen. Now we know what it takes to be successful and to be number one and I expect everyone to continue to fight to keep us on track.

Expectations always run high at Harrison. I constantly remind our players that men usually hit what they aim at, so aim high. The battle that wages in the 5-A West Conference can be a very humbling experience. There is not a team in it that can be counted out. We expect the Goblins to be in the hunt and should be an improved team over last year. Every team in our league will face their share of adversity during the year. The team with the best attitude, heart and desire will be the ones headed for the play-offs at the end of the season.
