Sherwood Christian Academy will boast a youthful team focused on steady improvement once the 2016 season opens. The Eagles already have a roster made up of more than double the amount of players than the team had a season ago, and head coach Chad Evans will have just two seniors, meaning that the upcoming season is vital for SCA in terms of building a solid foundation for the future.
The Eagles will begin the season with a solid amount of stability, as five starters on both offense and defense will return in hopes of sending Sherwood’s football program on the rise.
“We will continue to build for the future and improve with each practice and game,” Evans said of his expectations for the team during the new season. “Our focus is solidifying individual fundamentals and creating a competitive team atmosphere. The overall success of our program will be determined by the young men that come out of it and will be measured by their leadership in their homes, churches, and communities.”
One main reason to expect significant improvement from Sherwood this season is the fact that Evans had the opportunity to lead his team through the offseason for the first time. The Eagles’ head man took over the program on July 1 of last season, but will now have an entire offseason to build continuity after getting the 2015 season under his belt.
Wins and losses for Sherwood in 2016 will most likely be determined by the amount of progress made. Evans echoed this sentiment by affirming that a winning season for his Eagles will mean that “each rep is better than the last, each practice is more efficient than the last, and each game is finished stronger than before.”
