How can we play as hard the second half, if we keep playing the same players all night. A team that is 20 points ahead in the 4th and playing the Quarter back on defense does not have much faith on the rest of the team. The rest of the team puts in their time at practice to help the team be better so why don’t they get a change to prove themselves in a game. We have a good TEAM so why not use them all. GO CHIEFS
Good game friday night.We looked very good the first half. We had a good lead going into halftime, then we came out and played enough to get the win. We need to finish the game, play as hard the 2nd half as we do the first half. This team has some very good depth on it, there is not a lot of difference between the players that start and their backups. We still have some fine tuning to do. The coaching staff has done a very good job this year in having the team prepared for the games. Keep up the hard work at practice and lets come out friday night and be on the WAR PATH for 4 quarters of ball and make a big statement.
GO CHIEFS
