Q. What are your biggest reasons for optimism?

A. Our players and coaches!

Q. What will keep you up at night?

A. A player not reaching his full potential!

Q. What can you build on from last year?

A. We began the season 0-5 in the second half of the season and finished 4-1, earning a playoff spot. This is a testament to the character and belief of our staff and players. We strive each day to be better.

Q. Any lessons learned from last year?

A. We had a very inexperienced team last year. Many guys playing on Friday nights who had not in the past. That experience should help us.

Q. Will we see anything different this year?

A. You will continue to see new players at the Friday night lights.

Coach’s View

Our focus is on being a better version of Silverdale football each day. This only happens when each individual coach and player chooses to replace themselves each day. My best version today is not going to be good enough for tomorrow. We are excited to represent our Lord, our school community, and our families as we play this great game each week!
