Some things I'm seeing:
York has found moments of true competitiveness in these first two games. They have not been grossly out-talented or dominated. Like last year; they are the best team in the state at shooting themselves in the foot at the worst times possible.
York must find consistency on offense, sustaining drives and time of possession.
York must improve at wrapping ball carriers on defense.
York must step up special team contributions.
All three phases of the game must take immediate corrective action to avoid undisciplined, foolish penalties. Penalties have been killing us.
York offensive line needs to gel as a team within the team.
I believe Coach Samber and crew are trying to find the answers. We have several kids capable of making big plays on both sides of the ball. A win would go a long way to restoring some confidence and belief in themselves. For the last 5 or 6 years, going down by two scores has seemed to be the death knell of this team. Heads drop and play starts getting sloppy, frustrated, and uninspired at times. These seniors have been playing together for a long, long time and are a really good group of kids off the field. They were winners in middle school and I'm hopeful they go out as winners.
