The Tekamah-Herman Football team dropped their season finale at home to Wisner-Pilger Friday night, losing 20-18.
The game was tied at 6 at the end of one and at 12 at halftime.
The Gators won the 4th quarter 8-6 to make up the final score. No one scored in the 3rd quarter.
It had to be a disappointing way for the Tigers to end the year. I'm sure Tekamah-Herman feels they could of and should of won this game.
The Tigers wrap up the year at 1-8.
That was also Tekamah-Herman's record last year.
The Tigers' lone win of the year came in the opener against Madison.
I felt Tekamah-Herman's best game of the year was against Logan View.
The Tigers lose seniors Austin Pickell, Chance Reusch, Taylor Babler, Sage Penny, Ethan Braniff, Max Hansen, Kyle Quick, Brandon Fentress, Johnny Braniff, Mack Braniff, and Matt Hawkins.
These 11 seniors will be missed no doubt, but Tekamah-Herman was pretty young this year, and has to be excited about the future.
Brandon Schram, Clay Beaumont, Cody Elliot, Justin Greenlaw, Luke Wakehouse, Gage Drummond, and Jayden Kellogg figure to be some of the main players and key contributors for the Tigers next year.
Tekamah-Herman needs to have a good season of growth, development, and maturity.
These kids have to work hard during workouts, and be excited to grow and improve as student athletes every time they wake up.
The Tigers need to do a lot of weightlifting and running in the offseason to make themselves better next year.
Champions are made in the offseason, and so Tekamah-Herman's players have to show dedication in the weightroom this offseason, and in team camps and other things throughout the summer.
A lot of these kids are in other sports I'm sure, but proper time and devotion to football is important, there's no doubt about it.
Success in all aspects of life...on the field and in the classroom, is very important for the Tigers I would say.
The returning players should get together on weekends they're free and watch college and pro football, play video games, go out for supper, etc.
Team bonding activities are almost as important as workouts and camps and all that stuff, and the more kids can get together, the better.
These players should take these next couple of weeks to rest their bodies, but be ready to get back at it the first part of November, whether they're participating in a winter sport or not.
I think 2018 has the potential to be a better season than 2017 was for Tekamah-Herman.
