Overall , as a team , I think we ’ re better . I think we ’ re better up front on both sides of the ball .
After an open week , the Valiants return to action at home Oct . 14 against Terrell Academy followed by road games at Southland Academy and Deerfield Windsor before wrapping up the regular season at home against Brookwood Nov . 4 .
“ Our schedule ’ s not as tough as it has been this year . We do have those two staples ( Frederica and NFC ) on our schedules . Those are good road tests ,” Henderson said . “ Frederica , they ’ re always a top 5 in the state team at the end of the year and it ’ s not a terrible drive so we wanted to keep them . North Florida Christian , the same thing . They ’ ve always got dudes that present major problems and we want to be able to go down there and compete with them . But we do need some games where we can build some confidence .
“ The schedule looks good for what we ’ re in . I ’ ll call it what it is . We ’ re in a rebuilding phase of our program right now and we ’ ve got a ton of young guys , like I said . I expect a bunch of people to play in a bunch of football games early as we see how this thing shakes out . The best coach in the world is competition and I think , for the first time in four years , because of our numbers we ’ ve got positions that we don ’ t have defined starters yet . We ’ ve got two or three names attached to each of those positions . I ’ ll fire an outside linebacker and get the next guy in . There ’ s no better motivator than the bench . That butt hits bench and something clicks in the brain that ‘ Hey , you better start playing better . That ’ s where we ’ re at and it ’ s a great spot to be .” n
