 Well, the countdown to kickoff has reached one day as we turn our attention to the Brainerd Warriors. For more on the upcoming season, Clayton Castle has the story. Disciplined. That's what you can expect from the Brainerd Warriors football team this season as they look to improve on last season's 6-4 record and second round loss in the section tournament. On the offensive side of the ball, you can expect the Warriors to get up and down the field as they will run a fast, no-huddle offense. I think we're going to be a really fast team, no-huddle, just trying to move the ball really fast, keep it moving and just try to put a lot of pressure on the defense. The Warriors return last season's leading rusher, Charlie Garrett, who will rise as a senior leader on this offense and this team. You got to have good vision, find the holes, just be tough. Told him in the locker room today just be Charlie. He's a 4.0 student. He's very strong, very physical, but I don't expect any more from Charlie than I expect from the entire football team. Do your best and it's worked out for us. On the defensive side of the ball, what the Warriors lack in size they make up for with speed and strength. We're not the biggest, but we're going to be quick, going to be fast. Attack the football. Try to have 11 men going to the football every play, just work hard and make tackles. Just try to move fast, 11 men to the ball, bad humor, just trying to swarm them. If you ask the team, one of their biggest strengths this season will be the team unity. I think that we're a great brotherhood right now and that we're all going to be quick and fast. Brotherhood, unity and finally discipline. You can expect those three traits this season and every season where legendary head coach Ron Stolsky is at the helm. Discipline and working hard every play. He just wants the little things done right and he gets really on you about that kind of stuff. Discipline wants us to be a discipline football team, respect the refs, respect the other team, always on assignment. The Warriors will open the season on Friday night when they take on Buffalo, reporting in Brainerd Clayton Castle, Lakeland News.
