I'm Scared!!

Dear Mustang Football Team,
You heard me admit it....I'm scared!!!!
I have been preaching all week about how concerned about Merkel I am.
Today, The Abilene Reporter News clobbered us Sweetwater fans about 3 times!! Check this out, the Clyde senior linebacker Nick Chiappone, was given defensive Player of the Week for his performance against the Mustangs even though they lost the game 40-20.
That should fire you up huh?
And how about this?
Awarded Offensive Honorable Mention for the week is none other than our buddy from Merkel, QB Riley Lambert!!!!!! Ohhhh let's not stop there.
Let's add these guys to the Honorable Mention list also:
Trevor Hood, Merkel, junior, WR/CB, 9 catches for 133 yards, 1 TD
Zack Maxey, Merkel, junior, FB 10 carries for 84 yards
What about the defensive side of the ball?
Zack Maxey, Merkel, junior, CB 14 tackles
Mario Gonzalez, Merkel, junior, S, 10 tackles, 1 interception run back for a TD
So much for being under the radar huh?
And they narrowly lost to Snyder!
Ohhhhh this isn't looking good at all!!!
Michael Irvin was once asked if he were ever scared going into a game.
His response?
"I go into every game scared to death. It sharpens my skills, it's a serious time for me."
Gentlemen, I don't know how many times I have to repeat this...but Merkel is good!
Personally, I would be fired up in seeing us Mustangs not get credit at the Abilene Reporter-News. You want to change that?
Welcome our friends from Merkel to the "Snake Pit" next week.
