Given the state of the Northwest football team, I'm not sure anybody is even checking this blog.
But if you are and you have any idea what's plaguing the team this year, please share in the comments section. I'd love to know.
I understand the team is young but after that season-opening win at Jackson High, it sure looked like they were capable of doing some damage this year, especially with the softer schedule. Granted, J-High is only 1-5 this season but, still, for Northwest to beat them in overtime at Withington was huge.
Now, the Mounties are staring down the barrel of another 1-8 season and the prospect of their first loss to Western (which is currently 4-2, coming off a victory over Columbia Central, which drubbed the Mounties) since 2002.
Is it the team's youth? Were there injuries? How did the wheels come off this season? And what can be done to start building for 2012?

They have a team but not a program. The varsity coach did not get involved with the younger kids and build a program from the ground up. The 5th-6th grade program never had contact with a varsity play/coach. They ran seperate plays. The 8th grade team only had 14 kids out. Recruit kids at school, make them feel part of a team,and build it brick by brick. The new coach seems to realize this. The middle school kids are in the weight room already where in past years they didnt go until summer. NW may never be a power, but they should beat half those teams on the schedule.
