Room for Improvement

The Cougars had a great come from behind win Friday night, and while the celebration was good while it lasted, it is now time to move on and prepare for our next opponent. This week the Cougars face their cross-town rivals and the leader in district 3-5A in the Abilene High Eagles. If you want to be the best, you have to beat the best and this game will be a great opportunity for the Cougars to make a statement that they are back from the pitiful Secord teams. With that being said, the Coogs face a tough challenge with Abilene High and I will be the first to say that if the Coogs play the way they did against Midland, then you can chalk up a loss right now. What do I mean? Unofficially I was told the Cougars had 12 dropped passes. Most of them were crucial drops too. Also the Cougars for some reason had a hard time protecting the football and had fumblitis all night. Again unacceptable. Finally the Cougars continue to make foolish penalties. I know early on the Cougars had an interception overturned because a defender was off-sides. Finally on defense the Cougars are still making mental errors such as lining up in the wrong gaps and calling the defense incorrectly. The Cougars will have to win the turnover battle and play mistake free football Friday if they want to beat their most hated opponent. I know the Coogs are capable of getting the job done and I want nothing more than to congratulate the guys as they come off the field Friday. Here's to knocking off the district leader and taking back the swagger that belongs to us! Go Cougars!

I agree. Coogs, we can do this and I have no doubt we will come out Friday night fired up and ready to play. We do need to make sure we wrap up out there and hit them hard. We need to work on those dropped passes and running hard. It's time A-Low and Abilene realize just how great we are. Bring back the tradition and restore the roar!! Fans, make sure we make some noise Friday night. It is going to be awesome! CHS is #1!
