 There's a new chief at the reservation. His name is Quint Morgan as he takes over for head coach Bradley Allen. Eastridge is coming off a five-win season in which they were the four seed made the playoffs and lost in the opening round to Danville. So far the coaching staff and the players are getting acquainted in learning one another. The transition is going smooth as the returning players are working hard. You know it's great being head coach is definitely a different experience. My biggest rank in football up to this point was a coordinator and I've learned that you are responsible for every facet of the game not just one side of the ball. So it's definitely a lot of responsibility but with the kids I have the work they've put in they've they they've made that responsibility a real joy and man it's been a it's been a really smooth transition that people want these kids to succeed they're behind you they want good things to happen and that's why I love it here so much is because of the support I've had. This is one of the best camps that I've been to the one by far the hardest hit and of any team out of the past couple years and I'm just looking forward to this great season and to see what opportunities bring us. This year's been the best year that we have every hardest hitting year that we've ever had and since I've been here and I've played off for years. Here doing camp we like everybody has had a very good attitude and what we do plan on we do plan on proving people wrong we want to win as many games as possible everybody here just has a great attitude everybody's going 100% at every and everything we do and I think I think we have a good shot of winning. The Warriors only have three seniors on the roster they're loaded with a wealth of young talent Eastridge has five starters back on both sides of the football despite being a playoff team one year ago the players feel that they must prove people wrong. Everyone's going to say hey at the beginning of the year let's set some realistic goals for your team but realistically with me and my staff and private we would say let's get above that 500 mark you know let's not be the four seed in the district let's get a one two or three seed you know let's not have to travel and play a state champion Danville Calibre team in the first round. Realistically I think that's that that that can happen we can get that two seed and we can host a home playoff game and that is my expectation and that's what we're going to strive for. We're all going 100% we're trying to do our best anyway for the Pike County Bowl prove people wrong show them that we're not what they think we are that we're better and so a lot of people would prove wrong this year we last year we only went five and five we did go to the playoff game and just this year we want we want to blow that out of the water we want to prove everybody we can wrong and just people that stand in all way we just want to go right past them. What I hope we do great things hopefully hopefully we'll tend to get a two one seed play a playoff game right here as far as we can. From Lit Creek for EKB Sports I'm Joe Kinzer.
