Kerry Owens Coaches Show Live From Wedgewood Pizza Recap for 9/27

In case you missed it, here’s how the Kerry Owens Coaches show went on Tuesday September 27th.

We were honored to have two special guests in attendance. Sr RB/LB Nate Holt and Sr OL/DL Josh High. the players and discussed what it was like to be a team leader on the young Eagles team. Both players relished the role to set a foundation for the future of the team.

Coach Owens and I talked about the injuries to his two Sr Captains, QB/DB Ben Whittaker and RB/LB Tony Roark. Neither player liked being sat out, but understood for the long run it was the best decision. Both players will play against Fairview this week even though their play on defense would be limited.

Coach Owens gave us a quick breakdown of the game against Cincinnati College Prep Acadamy. He was extremely happy with his special teams play, one FG and two block punts for TD. He was also happy to see, that without two starters, his offense was able to get back on track gaining 260 plus yards. We didn’t talk much about defense because what can you say about a unit that allowed 67 yards of offense, most of it coming on a final drive, other than WOW.

We then shifted gears and discussed the game against Fairview (KY) this week. Coach gave us his insight as to the challenges of traveling that far for a game but felt his team could handle the pressure. Fairview is 5-0 on the season.

I asked the Coach to give his grade for his team at the halfway point of the season. He of course was reluctant, as most Coaches are, to answer the question but he finally did. ‘I would give us different grades depending on the games’, Coach said, ‘but overall I feel comfortable giving a B, B- at this point.’

Recap of September 20th Kerry Owens Coaches Show live from Wedgewood Pizza

In a change of pace from our other shows, Coach Owens brought along three Senior Captains with him to the show. Ben Whittaker, Zack Casparro and Zach “Wally” Brewer joined us to talk about what it means to be a Grove City Christian Eagle.

The first half of the show focused mainly on the players. Ben Whittaker spoke about the challenges of being a student athlete as well as keeping up on the part time job he currently has. Wally Brewer discussed the importance, as a Senior, to help get the Freshman up to speed and get them prepared for the future. He was very passionate about leaving a legacy for the younger players to look up to. Zack Casparro, who is being recruited by Division One schools, was asked about the importance of academics in a players ife. Zack shared that he recently scored a near perfect SAT score and reminded us that there is a life after football and you need to be prepared.

When we got back to coach Owens, he made it clear that the team needs to get better. He was actually able to pull positives out of the last two losses against Danville and Fort Loramie. He liked the fact that the games were against playoff bound teams. He pointed out that now his team knows what it takes to be a playoff competitor.
