Buchanan High School has a lot to look forward to this upcoming football season with several returning players and talented new additions to the team. Coach Ross Wood has high expectations for his players and a clear vision for success. With a focus on accountability, team chemistry, and pushing players to their full potential, this years' team is shaping up to be a strong and formidable force on the field.
One of the key strengths of the team is their top returning players from last season. These players are known for their speed and confidence, crucial elements in the fast-paced game of football. Players like Grant Moser, Caden Fulmer, Josh Madrigal, and Gannon Server have proven to be strong leaders and key players on both offense and defense. Their athleticism, work ethic, and determination make them stand out and bring a sense of security to the team.
However, it's not just the returning players that Coach Wood is relying on for success. The new players on the team have also caught his eye and are expected to make an immediate impact. Players like Johnathan Runnels, Landon Burger, and Donovan Dunmore bring a mix of speed, physicality, and skill to the table. Additionally, Cooper Rodgers, Brayden Walton, Jaylen Gonzales, and Carvel Wafer all bring unique qualities and talents that are sure to add depth and strength to the team.
When it comes to team captains, Coach Wood looks for players who embody the team's values and are able to lead by example. This year's captains, Grant Moser, Caden Fulmer, Josh Madrigal, and Gannon Server, were chosen for their strong leadership qualities, work ethic, and dedication to the team. These captains are held in high regard by their teammates and are looked up to for guidance and inspiration.
Team chemistry and camaraderie are also important aspects in any successful team. Coach Wood has implemented a leadership council made up of players who represent the program well and have a positive mentality. This council holds themselves and others accountable, and they are not afraid to face uncomfortable situations.
This unbreakable bond between teammates not only creates a positive team dynamic but also motivates players to give their all on and off the field. Speaking of motivation, Coach Wood has found a unique way to push his players to their full potential. The team has implemented a standards board that evaluates each athlete weekly based on their physical, cognitive, and behavioral accomplishments.
