Tuesday’s game at Liberty Hill was a real test for the Union Grove 7th Grade Grizzlies. The scoreboard did not end in our favor, as we fell 18–6, but we finally started to show what this team is capable of becoming. Our athletes played hard, competed for four quarters, and showed real signs of improvement.
Jarron Tillis stepped in at quarterback and gave our offense a much-needed spark. After a slow first half, we began moving the football with more confidence in the second half. Our running game continues to be our strength, and we scored our first touchdown by putting together a strong drive on the ground.
Defensively, we took another big step forward. We tackled much better, put together some of our best defensive series of the season, and you could see the confidence growing throughout the game. Mitchell Polk set the tone up front, consistently disrupting the backfield and bringing great energy to the defensive line.
This team continues to grow with every practice and every snap. Our focus now is building confidence, trusting our teammates, and believing that we can compete with anyone lined up across from us. The results will come, but first we have to continue building the habits that create success.
