Coach’s View

We have an opportunity to have some success at Dade Co. We need to stay healthy – that is important. Football is a tough game, and you have to play with courage to win close games. It’s about the football. You can’t turn it over, and you need to create turnovers. We need to win in the fourth quarter.
