John A Holmes gets set to go on the road to Warren County Friday night with swagger, energy, and playing with house money as they try to advance to the regional final next Friday night. This young junior heavy team started this season 0-4, but has gone through a lot of growing pains finding themselves in a strong run of momentum.Â
This John A Holmes football team went toe to toe with Northeastern High School for two quarters, Paul Hoggard will have his team well in preparation for Friday night, But Hoggard made it clear defensively just and very athletic but we have to execute that's the number one thing with option football its a very precise deal and we have to execute at a high level and not turn the ball over.”
have to do the best in limiting explosive run plays by Warren County, and offense cannot turn over the football; a problem the offense has dealt with all season long.Â
Opening Statement
“The first thing that sticks out is athletic; they are very athletic; they fly around, won a bunch of football games and had a great year, a very successful year so it's going to be a huge challenge for us.”
Executing Against Warren County
“I don't know if you can stop it but we are going to try to slow it down and their players make plays and we gotta try to have some players on our end that try to negate some of those plays.”
“We got to do a good job with that. The thing with that for us as far as the throw game is we got to establish the run. We are going to run option football and if you are able to do that well that will slow the pass rush down.”
“I don't know if we can slow them down. They are very very fast defensively just and very athletic but we have to execute that's the number one thing with option football. It's a very precise deal and we have to execute at a high level and not turn the ball over.”
“They are a very good football team.”
“Like we did Friday night we have to get some stops. The thing that we got to try to fix is turning the ball over we cannot turn the ball over.”
