Fox Foxes Season Summary

The Foxes are in the playoffs once again to see if they have what it takes to make a charge for the Gold Ball. The first game the Foxes will play is at home this Friday night against the defending state champion, the Cherokee Chiefs. We caught up with the three coaches and asked them about the football game on Friday and about the season in general. The first one we interviewed was Coach Spigner. We asked him how he though the defense would hold up against their offense. He replied, "If we attack like we have been, then we will be fine. They have some athletes, but I think we have the better athletes." We also asked if he was going to change the Foxes defense to adjust to Cherokee's offense. He said, "Nothing major, we have played ten games and seven of them were shut outs, so I do not see the need to change what we have been doing."

The next coach we interviewed was Coach Worley. We asked him if he had confidence in his defensive backs. He said, "Yes, very much. They're Seniors and upper class man, so I am not worried." Another question was, if there was somebody that might be a threat on the Cherokee offense, if so, why or why not? He replied, "Henry Washington, number 20. He is athletic and used by the coach in many different ways which makes him a bigger threat." Finally, we asked if he had any plans to stop their offense. He said, "Just take away their money plays and attack them first before they can think what to do next."

Last but not least, we interviewed Coach Phelps. We asked him if the football players were doing any "special training" to go against Cherokee. He said, "No." Next we asked him what it would take to beat Cherokee. He said, "Scoring more points then they do." We also asked if there was a person on there team that he was worried about. He said, "No, because we have eight other guys on the field working together as one unit." Finally, we asked if there was anything else he would like to say anything else? He said, "We are planning on a victory. Throughout the season we have came together as one unit to achieve victories in our previous games. The team is working as hard as they have all year. The team is playing not only physically but also with their hearts. It is not the size of the dog in the fight, but the size of the fight in the dog that matters."
