2013 WYMT Pigskin Preview: Sheldon Clark Cardinals

INEZ, Ky (WYMT) - The Sheldon Clark Cardinals bring back a young team on both sides of the ball this season, and are looking to improve on their 4-7 record from last year.

"Coming into this year we're young very young, we had several players that you know didn't come back out this year so that makes things a little bit difficult this year, but our kids are working hard, they worked hard in the off season being 4-7 last year they rally worked hard in the weight room. We don't have a lot of numbers this year but our kids are really working hard," said Head Coach Shawn Hager.

"Last year was a learning experience, coming into high school as a freshman is a big change from middle school. I think I'll just be more ready and more experienced this year getting used to the high school level." said Sophomore Lineman Steven Moore.

Sophomore Lineman Jordan Goble said he learned quite a bit from the players last year, "I got a lot of experience going into the games once the other guys got tired. I learned a lot from the seniors last year, one that had my position last year I learned a lot of from him. He taught me just about everything I knew so it was good to have him around."

With the teams low numbers this year, players say keeping a positive attitude throughout the season is essential.

"We're young so we know we gotta show up and give it our all. Were not going to lay down in the 4th quarter, we're not going to give up. We're just going to come out there and show everyone what we've got," said Sophomore Linebacker Cody Gauze.

Sophomore Linebacker Chase Munch agreed with Gauze, "Keep a good mind set on it and stay positive about this year and never get down on yourselves."

"We beat a lot of teams we didn't know much about, but we took a lot of good plays last year, and used them as strengths this year. We're not like we were last year, we could line up the ball and run it up the middle last year, but this year we're going to have to be more of a spread type offense take some shots down the field," said Junior Linebacker Brady Cline.

The Cardinals kick off their season with the Prestonsburg Blackcats.
