New Boston Head Coach Justin Waltz has called on his team to BELIEVE this season, and believing that they can win and believing in themselves may be more important than any other aspect of their team.
When you are coming off a winless season, it is hard to believe, but this is not the same team that took the field a year ago.
The New Boston Lions are picked by pre-season prognosticators to finish dead last in their district again, and those guys may be right, but this is Texas high school football. This is a sport where anything can happen out there on that field, and it only takes a couple of plays to go your way to pull off something nobody expected to see.
The Lions have games on the schedule that they will contend, especially early on.
Who’s to say that if the Lions knock off Paul Pewitt and then come away with a win in the annual rivalry game with DeKalb, that a 2-0 start might be just what they need to turn things around.
New Boston finds themselves in one of, if not the, toughest districts in the State of Texas. It is likely that they don’t have the guns to knock off top picks like Atlanta, Jefferson or Mt. Vernon and new coach Art Briles, but a couple of wins out of the gate could give the Lions the ability to believe in themselves and push their way to a 5-5 season.
