Fair Grove High School Football is kicking off the season strong with a 4-0 record after winning against their most recent game, Fair Grove vs Forsyth, with a score of 56-13.
After losing the district championship last year, the boys on the team are pushing harder than ever to prepare and hype themselves up for future games. Seth Hardison (12) said, “Since the day we lost the district championship last year, I’ve been working out, bulking, and conditioning.” The team has also been meeting over the summer to workout early in the morning. Hardison also stated, “When we practice, we practice at a speed and intensity that we are bound to see in our games.”
Preparing for the season starts as soon as the season before ends, as everyone is hoping to make the next year better than the last. Gabe McMains (12) said, “…scouting each person I am up against each week. But as a collective, we prepare in practice but if we also will hold some film studies at a house for everyone to come.”
The team has been pushing each and every person harder than ever, hoping to make it to the State Championship. Carson Trussell (10) explained what his favorite parts of the game are by saying, “Watching the guys around me that have pushed alongside me succeed and destroy the other team. I love being with the team.”
When the season comes to a conclusion at the end of October, everyone is looking forward to different things. McMains said, “I am looking forward to getting to know the freshmen better because they are the future for our team (because) they are so young.” Hardison also added, “I’m looking forward to dominating with our strength and growing closer as a team and as friends by the end of the year.”
The next few games are September 22 (Stockton vs. Home), September 29 (Home vs. Strafford), and October 6 (Buffalo vs. Home)
