Recap of Granite Bay
Well, a few days have gone by and I guess we should look at the Granite Bay game once more then look forward to next week.
While no one likes losing, there were a few high points Coach Mott wanted to cover:
There were some solid individual efforts from David Gladieaux and Brett Fraiser who were getting in the mix.
After the Del Campo game, the kids knew they needed some extra conditioning. They realized their physical weaknesses and accepted their conditioning regiment all week and took it with open arms, but what's more is that they improved.
It was also nice to have Gabe Guastucci back, even if in a limited role. In his first game back, he made an impact and contributed to the game. Napa's kick return team also played well and put the Indians in great field position. Once again, Napa was also perfect in PATs...5-5 this year!
On the flip side, there were some things to work on and the Indians will be busy at practice this week.
Napa did not play fundamentally sound on defense and will need to keep the penalties down. They had 95 yards in penalties against Granite Bay. There were also some key injuries to some of the seniors that have been instrumental in Napa's play.
As long as the Indians believe in their ability all game long, they should be golden all season. They started to see it at the end of the Granite Bay, but they need to carry it out for all four quarters.
Napa has Vallejo on Friday night at Corbus. The Indians are looking forward to continuing the long standing rivalry with Vallejo, something that is very important to the alumni at NHS. Napa wants to make some big plays on special teams, improve their fundamentals on defense and work on getting 11 hats to the ball. Napa should have Hayden Campo back and are looking for Guastucci to take on a bigger role. Coach Mott would like to see some more of the juniors step up and make plays.
So, that being said, let's all look forward to Vallejo because it really is a fun rivalry that has been going on for some time. Kick off is 5:15 for JV and 7:30 for Varsity...don't be late! And to tide everyone over for a couple days, here are some photos from Friday night.
After looking at what I took this past week, I think now would be an appropriate time to mention that I am totally open to photos if anyone has them.
Directions to the Freshmen game and to Corbus for Friday's contest will be up tomorrow. Check back...
