Well a new season starts on Monday and for the first time I am starting to see a resemblance of the team I thought we could be. Over the summer we played 18 games and went 14-4 against one of the toughest summer schedule we have ever went up against.
However, injuries have taken a toll on us through the first 10 days of practice. Four returning starters have missed significant time so far and we really haven't had a lot of time as a complete unit.
A lot of teams that lost 1 Division I player and 4 Division II players may have a good excuse to struggle. But at QHS, we feel we have prepared the kids we have to step in and replace the players we lose. While we will miss the players we graduated, I am excited about what this year will bring.
The Blue Devils of 2010 will be far different than what we have been in the past. Gone are the tall trees and they have been replaced by young men with exceptional speed. In 2009 we intimidated teams with our size and in 2010 we will blow teams away with our impressive team speed.
It is going to be a great season and one that will test us from start to finish. I hope you check in often on us and follow us in what we expect to be a a fun year.
