To build anything, you must first build a solid foundation. You cannot build a foundation playing against programs that are way ahead of you. Schedule teams that you can compete with, build confidence, interest, and excitement, then re-enter district play at the 2A level where you have a much better chance to compete.

Who can ER actually compete with? The way last year turned out for them, it would seem like a hard task to complete a schedule with teams they can compete with. I mean, they were getting beaten by below average 1A teams. I would like to see ER do good as well but, it would seem to me that it has more to do with the program itself. The players have to want to win, the coaching staff has to get the players ready to win on the field and in the weight room, and the community needs to be behind the program as well. Perhaps I am way off with my assumption but, I don't think all of those things are occurring.
