Freshmen Fill Football Roster
Siuslsaw Viking head football Coach Chad Smith say about half of his roster this year is made up of freshman which means a lot of fresh faces on the grid iron this season.
“This freshman class we have a pretty big class about 14 or 15 have signed up. There are some talented kids and they’re working hard and our upper classmen are working hard as well. and so I think it’s a good mixture.
Smith says there are not a lot of seniors on the team this year making coaching a little tougher, but he says you play the hand you have and make the best out of it. The Viks take the field at home tomorrow against Elmira. Pregame on kcst is at 6:45.
