Coach Steve Trapp, speaking on WJLE’s Tiger Talk program, said last week’s lost at Watertown was a disappointment but he is confident his team will bounce back
“Watertown is a good team. For the last couple of years they have been a solid program with a lot of great athletes. I thought we started off doing some good things, especially getting a turnover right off the bat but we lost our mental edge. The bottom line is if we can’t put a product on the field that will be consistent play in and play out doing the correct things then we are going to have a tough Friday night. That one was hard to coach through. It was hard to watch the film but we have addressed what he did and didn’t like and I am fully expecting this team to come out here tonight and give us a good response,” said Coach Trapp
Grundy County is 0-3 with losses to South Pittsburg 55-0, York Institute 48-14, and Bledsoe County 14-12
The Tigers are 1-3 with losses to Warren County 35 to 21, Upperman 35 to 0, and Watertown 42-20 and the win over Stone Memorial 33-0.
