 The Phelps Hornets and second year head coach David Jones have been in the weight room and working hard in the off-season tonight we preview the Hornets in the huddle. The Phelps Hornets are continuing to build their tradition to become a top contender in the mountains. Head Coach David Jones is entering his second season with the Hornets as they look to turn heads this year. The most important thing that we needed to improve on was getting in the weight room and you know just getting and getting everybody committed to and it's kind of hard you know being at a single-way school and you know and we encourage everybody to play all sports so you know when one sport is in we make sure they concentrate on that sport but at the same time we make sure that they're in the weight room too so they've been doing a little bit of mixed and both but you know the most important thing that we seen that we needed to work on was getting in the weight room. Just trying to stay positive, do the hard practices, we're gonna have some hard games this year you might not always come out on top but you just gotta stay positive and keep moving forward. Last season Phelps put up four wins on the board but dropped six. Coach Jones and the Hornets are looking to turn things around and make this season one to remember. I want to be able to you know us beat the teams we're not supposed to be you know and you know we beat the teams we was supposed to be quote unquote last year the teams that you know we're not supposed to be and all that you know just just being able to beat them and playing them and you know just see we're in and taking it one day at a time one game at a time because last year you know I'm a I can say I was one of the ones that looked ahead you know but this year's is one game at a time and the first game is Eastridge and that's the only thing we're ever gonna talk about into that next game. I expect to win at least eight games if not more because I mean we're gonna be a really good team especially if we keep working at it like we are right now we're definitely gonna turn some heads. Phelps football means to me a lot especially it's my senior year and I'm dedicating this season to my dad and I hope we come out and have a good season. Reporting for KB Sports, I'm Chris Atkins.
