The Clay Eagles are flying high on momentum. From a 3-7 season in 2016 to 5-5 last year. This year's expectations are bigger than ever.
"Expectations are definitely higher than they were last year. Last year, the goal was we just wanted to compete. We had been struggling for four years. I think we accomplished [competing] last year. Now this year we know what our league is but we certainly expect to compete very well in our league," said Eagles head coach John Galyas.
And the players know it. This senior class that went 1-9 as freshman know they can leave this program on the right track.
"5-5 last year is definitely a lot better than our previous seasons but this year we are looking to capitalize on that, do better than that," said senior WR Adam Ummel.
Clay has Reece Wamer back under center along with several senior wide receivers. They hope a veteran offense can compete with TRAC powerhouses like Whitmer and Central Catholic.
"We've tweaked some things, but he's got a great grasp of the offense. He's done really well in our 7-on-7. We're really excited to see year two in our offense what he can do," said Galyas.
"It's great. Our skill guys, all four years together. We've really been close summer. It's going to be a great year for our skill positions," said senior WR Jake Novak.
Clay opens up their season at home against Rogers.
