Salmon River Savage Football

Good Evening Savages!

Thank you all for the terrific support on our homecoming game last Friday night. Thank you also for all of the work put into the anual "Pig Feed".

Special kudo’s to our staff and Boosters for feeding the Colton team and staff after the game. It really shows how classy our school and community are.

This season has presented some adversity as key injuries have bit us. I believe it has been a blessing in disguise… all of our younger, inexperienced players have stepped up and been very productive for us. This added depth is going to be critical for us as we work towards our State Championship.

As nice as it would be to be undefeated… we are going to be a much better team because of these two losses.

The Colton game was a true illustration of where we are at. We can compete with anyone in the State – even with the two best running backs/linebackers in 8-man ball, standing on the sidelines. We will be focusing on maintaining our fundamentals and getting our kids ready for league play in a few weeks.

I am very impressed – and pleased – with the progress of our line. They have made gigantic progress since the Lacrosse/Washtucna game. This is such a key group for us this year… without their hard work and dedication, a state title is out of the question… great job boys!!

Cascade comes to town this Friday. They have been putting up alot of points this year, and should be alot tougher opponent than in the previous few years. God willing, we should have all 12 of our "Iron Men" available for that game… should be fun!!

Savage Pride!
