For a school your size, uh, how the heck do you get that many guys that can all contribute?

[laughs] Well, it, it's made in the summertime, that's for sure.

You know, they, uh, those guys that, you know, we take a lot of pride in those guys being able to get into the weight room and develop not only just as, uh, uh, players, you know, that can maybe help us out by the time they're seniors.

And that's one of the other things that they've done a really nice job is some of those guys that, you know, buy into the system and go, "All right.

Well, um, it's not my time yet," but it'll be there eventually.

And by the time they's seniors, you know, they're, they're phenomenal football players, you know.

And, and Dawson's a really good example of that.

anderson kevin potterbaum we talk local and regional sports right now time to talk elk point jefferson football and a big matchup of top three matchup in the state of south dakota they take on duel at home tonight but coach uh let's let's jump back and uh give me highlights uh you hit a nice little road trip in a 42-8 win last week

yeah it was uh like you said last week kind of a different type of challenge people to have to go on the road for about four to four and a half hours.

And, you know, really, really wanted to test the kids and see how they could handle that type of situation, you know, for, you know, if we, if we were to have to go on the road in the playoffs or anything like that.

And, you know, the kids, the kids responded really well, you know, kind of went out there right away from the get go.

got a great stop and then kind of just marched down the field, chunk, chunk, chunk.

And, you know, anytime you can put up over 400 yards rushing and, you know, get, get five, six different running backs over 50 yards rushing.

It's a pretty special night for those kids to be able to have that experience and, Go out and do those things.

What do you know about this dual team, and what do you have to do offensively to make sure you can put up some points?

Just what was working well for your team?

Yeah, the kids played really well the first couple weeks.

You know, we've kind of talked and, you know, we've kind of been beating ourselves a little bit with penalties and some different mistakes and, you know, things like that that really kind of prevented us from firing at all cylinders.

And, you know, we had a great week of practice, even though it's homecoming, which is everybody's least favorite week of practice.

We had a really, really, really good week of practice with great focus and some really good intensity.

You know, really kind of found our identity and figured out some things about ourselves.

And we're able to go out and execute it.

So we may not know a whole lot about their program.
