Dear Mustangs,
I listened to an interview with Coach Hugh Sandifer, Head Coach at Wylie High School today. He talked about the upcoming game with Sweetwater this Friday at Wylie.
Coach Sandifer gave all the credit to Decatur for their loss last week. He said that he hopes that Wylie learns from their loss to Decatur, but non-district games don't mean a thing in the scheme of things. Gold balls are awarded in November.
Coach Sandifer has lots of respect for Sweetwater. He says there are 4 keys to beating Sweetwater.
1.) Play as if there is nothing to lose.
2.) Slow down the Sweetwater offense. He was disappointed on letting the big plays occur against Decatur.
3.) Make Sweetwater EARN their scores. The coach says he has seen lots of film of the Mustangs. He says the Mustangs are noted for team speed.
4.) Put points on the board.
Coach Sandifer is a very well spoken man..he has a good way with words.
This week, I think it should be "Us against the world". Maybe I am taking this the wrong way, and I mean no disrespect to the Wylie coach, but in my mind Sweeetwater has EARNED everything they have done this year.
In fact, to me, if you don't earn something, you are lucky. I don't think the Big Red team from Sweetwater has had too much luck, I believe those group of hard working individuals have earned every single yard.
The bottom line is this is a very good district. There are no easy opponets.
Hopefully, after Sweetwater leaves the field Friday night, they will know they have EARNED it!
Go Big Red!!!
