The Crook County High School football team is starting to show progress.
Although the team is still struggling to get wins they are staying in ball games this year.
A year ago the team would play close to teams for awhile, then gradually fall further and further behind before finally being blown out.
This year that isn't happening. In spite of their 2-5 record the Cowboys have been in every game that they have played this year.
If they can find a way to eliminate mistakes they could still get their first league win in several years, and salvage something from this season.
In addition both the freshman and JV programs are winning games, so the future is looking brighter.
The team is working hard so it was nice to see a good crowd last night for homecoming, even with less than ideal weather conditions.
When I went down to the stadium at 8 a.m. on Friday morning to talk to head coach Woody Bennett much of the varsity team was there, in spite of having a dance that lasted till midnight the night before.
The team was looking at film and beginning to work on a game plan for their game next Friday against Bend High School.
It would be nice to see the commitment and hard work start to pay off with some victories. Both the coaching staff and the players have worked hard enough that they deserve some success. As a community we should be sure to come out and support them the remainder of the season.
