In 2018, our football team traveled seven hours to Garden City, Texas to take on a top 10 public school. We were a team of mostly sophomores and juniors who had won a lower division private school title the year before but believed they had more to prove.
The purpose of this week one game for Sterling City was to “tune up” the engine of a team expected to compete for a state championship against an opponent that was not expected to get past halftime. Being a 45 point underdog did not phase our team; however, truth be told there was trepidation in the locker room before the game.
