New Centennial football coach Jeffrey Carlberg is quickly putting his fingerprints all over the Knights program, and he has invited Score along for the ride during his first year at the helm. Here are highlights from last week.
We traveled to Marist for our final scrimmage Friday before kicking off the 2012 season at Roswell this week. Our quarterback Chase Rosenberg ran for one score and connected with Christian Robinson for a pair of touchdowns as we continue to implement the spread offense. This was really the first time we’ve put the spread out against players that aren’t familiar with our system, so the coaching staff was interested to see what happened.
We got off to a slow start because we weren’t playing with much aggression early on. We were passive and not crisp. That started to change during the second quarter, but I still addressed the team at halftime with a simple challenge: stop playing tentatively. Be the hammer, not the nail.
We responded with several scoring chances in the third quarter and capitalized on two of them. The final score was 38-20, but there were plenty of bright spots on both sides of the ball and plenty of our players saw action. Our offense certainly had a lot to build on this week, and it was clear that the defense got a lot better as the night went on. I thought the defensive ends in particular played really well. Hopefully, we can carry that over into our opener against Roswell.
