From the coach
“Homecoming is always a special week but it also poses challenges for the team (like) keeping them focused on the game and not doing anything to hinder their ability to play. Our biggest concern is finding depth as we lost several more players on Friday. We won’t do anything different from any other week, again it comes down to us and trying to put 48 minutes together, and doing little things correctly. Keokuk does some nice things offensively so we have to limit big plays. Offensively we need to build on the positives from Friday especially in the run game and keep that moving forward. The number one goal is sending the seniors out with a win on their last time at Case.”— Nick Ehret
