Scribner-Snyder drops final game to Cedar Bluffs

The Scribner-Snyder Trojans lost 52-44 at Cedar Bluffs Friday night to end the regular season.

I thought Scribner-Snyder had a good chance to come away with a victory Friday night, but it just didn't happen and wasn't meant to be.

The Trojans end the year at 1-7.

It was a tough season for Scribner-Snyder, but I think the Trojans got better as the year went along.

The highlight of the year had to be the win over Winside.

Scribner-Snyder says goodbye to four seniors in Brandon Noel, Alex Nuno, Gunner Palmer, and Riley Meyer.

All four players were very valuable to this team, and will be missed without a doubt.

Scribner-Snyder appears to return some pretty good players next year though.

Back is Quarterback Jadyn Smeal, Sebastian Arnold, Josh McMillen, Teague Stewart, Hunter Adams, Harrison Riggle, Victor Zamora, and others.

Numbers and depth appeared to be an issue for the Trojans this year so it will be interesting to see if that is an issue next year as well.

I think Scribner-Snyder is capable of having a better season next year, and getting back to the playoffs, but the Trojans have a lot of work to do in the offseason.

Players need to devote proper time to weightlifting, camps, and staying active by playing other sports.

The more these kids are involved and participate in, the better off they will be for the 2017 season.

I don't know all who Scribner-Snyder has coning up from the Junior High ranks, but hopefully there will be some newcomers who can step in and have an immediate impact for this team next season.

All the returning players and newcomers will be a year older than they are now, and should all be better players than they were this year.

Everyone needs to work on becoming faster, stronger, and better football players in the offseason though.

There's still basketball, wrestling, and other sports to be played this year, but once that's all over, the mindset has to be improving and growing as football players.

The Trojans have to workout and play with enthusiasm in the offseason and next fall. The team has to generate it's own excitement and motivation if they want to be a better team in 2017.
