When thinking of 2019, Model High School Coach Jeff Hunnicutt refers to an old saying about automobiles; “You never want to spend more time looking in the rear view mirror than you do looking out of the windshield.”
Model started its season 0-3 before going 5-2 in region play to make the playoffs, falling in the first round. “We started 0-3 and never quit, but we have to remember how bad it felt, the game 11 loss at Bremen (the Blue Devils fell 17-0 that on November night), and we hopefully will build off of that and last season as a whole, to start this season with some early momentum,” he says.
As for the preparation and readiness for the 2020 season, Hunnicutt describes it as an adventurous time, since March anyway. “It is great having these kids back together,” he says. “This is what they needed, no doubt. To be back amongst this family we are building here at the school.”
