“We lost a lot of seniors last year and we now have a small senior group and a small junior group this year and we do have a lot of new faces out here but they have worked. The two things I can say I like best about this team is that they do work and when we get on them a little bit they do respond. Hopefully we have gained some experience in that realm all through January and all through summer but with as many sophomores as we have and a couple of freshmen there will be some growing pain but if these guys continue working hard I think we will get better each and every week,” he said.

Coach Trapp will be joined on the sidelines this season by assistant coaches Clarence Trapp, Thomas Cagle, Toby Nokes , Brad Trapp, and Thomas Blumette.

As for Warren County, Coach Trapp said the Pioneers will be looking at this game as a winnable contest for them.

“They are going to be extremely hungry. They are in a tough district so they are going to come in here and feel like its an opportunity to start the season off with a win. Its our job to make them understand they are in a dogfight and we are not just going to lay over for them. It is a good border rival but I would like for us to take care of business tonight,” he said.

Coach Trapp’s record against Warren County is 6-7.
