“Ugly.” It was the best way Richland High School head football coach John Kirk could describe his team’s play in their 42-0 loss at Forrest Friday.
Talking to the Raiders during Sunday’s film review of their game, Kirk made sure his players knew what they had done wrong, but assured them that they were a much better team than they showed in Friday’s game.
“It wasn’t as much what they were doing, but more what were weren’t doing,” Kirk said. “If you had done what you were supposed to do, it wouldn’t have looked anything like it did.
“You didn’t play aggressive on defense,” he said to his players. “On offense we stood around and waited for something bad to happen. If you wait around long enough it will happen.”
Kirk challenged his players to be honest with themselves as they watched the film.
“It was an ugly night,” he said. “I don’t know if you were intimidated when we got there and you saw them or what. You should always respect everybody you play, but don’t ever be afraid of anyone.
