Starting the new year, the varsity football team lost their first game against Cheyenne Highschool, but that is not bringing down their spirits. A lot of practice, hard work, and dedication will help the team take a win for their next game. Coach Nunez has his team working extra hard this year on the field. He has made his kids inspired and ready to get back up if they fall. Nico Harmon, 11, is one of the star players on our varsity football. He motivates his fellow players and himself to work hard and give it their all. “While practicing on the grass with my crew, we have to be dedicated all the time. If we lose that then we have nothing. We have to play through contact and give our every play 100%.” Losing is not an answer for the Sun Devils. While practicing, Nunez has them work extra hard while it gets hard sometimes, but they know it's for the better. Having practice in the morning and after school gives the players extra time to get more elite to smash their competition. When the team wins a game, they try to use that win as motivation. Having teamwork and trusting your team really helps when trying to win a game. “I like to drive my kids to do better with the tough love method. I make them re-do things when they mess up until they get perfect at it. This helps with eye coordination and making good plays,” says Coach Nunez. It's better to keep trying when failing. Practicing hard and being devoted is key to success.
