Whiteford Coaches Cross Fingers

 

The battered and bruised Whiteford football team missed a chance to qualify for the playoffs when they lost 52-28 at Morenci Friday, but the team still has slim hopes that it will make the playoffs.

"We'll be watching Sunday with our fingers crossed," said head coach Matt Garno, referring to the MHSAA playoff selection show airing on FSN Detroit at 7 p.m. Sunday.

Bobcats D saves the day

Whiteford's defense fights off the Aggies' attack in an important, 15-14 victory at Sand Creek.

                All year long, coach Matt Garno and his staff have been telling the Whiteford Bobcats that football is mental as much as it is physical.

                After Friday’s hard-fought 15-14 win over Sand Creek, Garno believes his team is getting the picture.

New-look Bobcats Will Earn Their Wings

 

It’s a new era in the Whiteford football program. Jack Luettke, who coached the team for 29 years, announced his retirement to the team on the school bus ride home after the playoff loss to Reading last season. Following in his footsteps is Matt Garno, who helped Ron Estes revive the program at Blissfield. Garno’s bringing in a new look, a new offense and a new attitude.

Much of Garno’s off-season and pre-season work has been building the right attitude.

“It’s easy to play with spirit when things are going well.  We look to see who has a great attitude and is ready to step up when things are tough. I talked to the kids about our tough conditioning program in regards to adversity.  We do those things so when times are tough we have something to call on,” Garno said.

New Coach Calling Audibles at Whiteford

ANN ARBOR – At a scrimmage in Ann Arbor Friday, that team in the maize and blue uniforms with the winged helmets looked very familiar. But it sure didn’t look like the Bobcats.

Led by Matt Garno, the first new head coach since the 1980s, the 2010 Whiteford football program is undergoing major reconstructive surgery. Change is everywhere you look.

Most noticeably, it’s the appearance. Gone are the blue uniforms and white helmets. In their place are the new maize and blue uniforms and the University of Michigan-style helmets.
