 It's a changing of the guard at Pressensburg High School's football program for the first time in over 20 years. John DeRosso won't be running the sideline. Brandon Brewer comes from Powell County, as he is looking to keep the tradition going in black cat country. Pressensburg, although coming off a seven-win season, still captured another district championship. However, there will be a challenge in 2018, as Lesley County and Shelby Valley are expected to vie for a district championship. You know, I've been up here since we started summer practice. Transition is going great. You know, just got a lot of help. People point me in the right direction up here. It's a good feeling to have it be a program where people want to win and expect to win. It's a program where the kids know how to work hard and the kids understand, you know, the meaning of competition. And so, you know, that's obviously made the transition much easier. So, you know, in terms of pressure to, you know, for winning, yeah, obviously there is pressure to win, but we also have a, you know, a young football team. Things have gone pretty good so far. I mean, been out here working from six to nine every night. It's different from going from John DeRossa to Coach Brewer over there. I mean, big changes from going from learning an offense since I've known since eighth grade to my senior year, learning a different one. It's been tough, but Coach Brewer is a great guy, great coach, and looking forward to what he's going to do this season. And then improved a lot this year. We were hoping to do real good, especially with the help of Coach Brewer. He's a real good coach. He helps a lot. He showed me a lot of new things, and I look forward to this year with him. Pressesburg is currently in a transition period. For the black cast to be successful this year, Pressesburg will need their senior leaders to step up. You know, I tell our kids that, you know, leadership is pretty easy. You come to practice, be excited to practice. You celebrate with your teammates, tell them good job, and let them see you working hard. You can be a leader by doing those few things right there. Be successful. We just need to come together as a team. Just develop a brotherhood and just come together. Kids are very coachable, and like I said earlier, it's a learning curve. And each week, the learning curve is getting a little bit straighter each week. They're working extremely hard, and there's a lot we're putting in on them, and a lot we're throwing at them, but they're doing very well. Expectations. Expect to do a lot better than what we did last year. Come together. Like I said there, we're going to come together and have a great season. It's great. Great really is. It's an honor to play in front of these people. A lot of people come out, packed stands. We need everybody out this year. Just come out and watch us on Friday nights.
