I hear alot from teams about how the non district games are there just to prepare you for the district games and how they don't really matter. To some extent this is true. However it seems as though that mentality has carried over onto how Hager's teams play. Not just this one but the teams of the past too. That philosophy is true when explaining why you schedule powerhouse teams. However in football every game matters. You have to play to win every game, every down, and every time you fire off the ball you should be wanting to win that fight like your life depends on it. That is what seperates the good teams from the bad. I could barely tell who was in my district when I played football. All I knew was that team on the feild that night was my worst enemy. They were the ones who came to my house and picked a fight with me. These new SC teams don't seem to have that same mentallity or toughness of the teams under Jim Matney.
