In this interview, CTB Sports Director Derek Darr sat down with the Seiling Head Football Coach Gary Manuel to discuss the upcoming State Championship matchup against Weleetka.
The coach started off by talking about what to expect against the unstoppable Weleetka team.
“Lots of athletes. They’re a team, in my opinion, that can match us athlete by athlete at every position on both sides of football…Now it comes down to the mental things, not having a bunch of mental errors and things of that nature to make sure to get ourselves an opportunity to have a chance to win the game….”
Darr asked the coach if fundamentals contribute to a team’s victory if stats are equal, this was his response:
“Yes, your fundamentals have to be sharp; do a great job of containing their quarterback, he’s kinda like Ford, not only can he throw, he can run really well. Then they [have] a lot of good receivers very similar to Covington-Douglas. They have a lot of guys that can do a lot of things in football.”
The Seiling Wildcats will face the Weleetka Outlaws on Thursday, Dec. 12. Catch the game LIVE on CTB Sports on Mix 95.7, the Mix app, and EnidLIVE.com.
