Wildcats pick apart Royals

Blissfield falls to third place in the LCAA with its loss to Onsted.

The previous week, Royals football fans screamed for the Blissfield varsity  to pass.

At Onsted Friday, pass they did — successfully 10 of 19 tries, but four of those passes were intercepted and three of them led directly to touchdowns as the Wildcats claimed a 40-14 victory on home turf.

Even though Blissfield led for just over a minute of Friday’s matchup with Ida, it was enough — and came at the right time — to give the Royals a hard-fought 22-19 gridiron victory over the Blue Streaks.

In the first three-and-a-half quarters, Blissfield would reach scoring position repeatedly, but fail to punch it in all but one time, going into the half down 13-6.

Schmidt, Goetz Lead a Young Royals Football Team

 

As the 2010 Blissfield varsity football season starts, making the playoffs for a fourth straight season isn’t on the radar of coach Ron Estes. And it’s not because this year’s Royals aren’t capable of it. It’s because Estes and his team don’t look that far down the road.

“It’s a very tough, long season. That first game against Sand Creek could determine whether or not we make the playoffs at the end of the season,” Estes said. “I see no reason to worry about six games until we have five under our belt.”

This year’s team is a talented squad. But it’s a young squad. The Royals graduated 22 seniors from last year’s team, which went 8-3 (3-2 in the LCAA, 3rd Place) in a season that ended in the district final against Monroe St. Mary Catholic Central. Numbers are down a little this year, with 26 players on the team.  And there are only 11 seniors.

Three Days in the Valley Propels Royals Into New Season

Ron Estes and the Blissfield varsity football coaches teach many lessons at Sauk Valley each August. Estes also learns a lot during the grueling, three-day camp that has become a Blissfield football rally cry over the years.

“You can tell a lot about the kids on your team just by watching the way they work, and the way they push themselves, and push each other,” Estes said.

Estes isn’t one to predict how many wins his team will get, or to venture a guess about a team’s playoff potential. But after a couple days with the 2010 edition of the Blissfield Royals, he was willing to say this:

“I like these kids. This group works really hard and they listen. This is going to be a really good group,” he said.
