 We're heading into week three of the high school football season and only a handful of area teams still with an unblemished record. Clayton Castle visited one of them today, the Pillager Huskies, and has the story. We're two weeks into the high school football season and the Pillager Huskies find themselves on a hot 2-0 start to the 2017 campaign, much to the delight of head coach Paul Peterson. It's really nice. We've done some good things. We have a nice group of seniors that are leading our ball club this year and our football family is getting better each week. Among those senior leaders is running back Eli Horn who has taken the role of main ball carrier after an injury to Dylan Loftus in the week one game against Pelican Rapids. Eli Horn has done some great things. He's a great leader on our football team here and he's done some good things offensively and defensively and he's picked up the slack. Eli and other seniors know the one trait that drives the high octane offense which has scored 76 points in the first two weeks. Discipline is one of our biggest things. We're pretty disciplined but we're not disciplined enough and we just need more of an attitude going into the game that we want to hit someone. I'd say discipline. You know just really getting those tough yards. I mean because our mentality is four tough yards every single play so it's just you know we know we can't get the homerun play every single play but just being tenacious in every single play and just getting those four tough yards that we need to win games. So discipline and just aggressiveness every single play. Of course you can't win football games without a stone wall defense which is limited opponents to only 20 points in 2017. The defense is looking really good you know coach Benson coaching for three years now everyone's know in the system you know we have a lot of these guys you know even sophomore stepping up that are really picking it up well and it's just you know aggressive attitude every single play on that side of the ball too. And for Noah being a senior is more than just being a leader. Just to be a big leader from someone someone they can look up to not only on the field but off the field you know I've been you know it's been my goal since freshman year working up to get to this point where I am now and it's all thanks to these guys you know they push me every day as I push them and I ride and die with them you know they're my brothers you know they're my football family and that's what I love about them.
