Stone credits assistants for Farragut MAC wins
Despite not having a good week of practice leading up to this game, “We still led 16-0 at halftime against a good, strong football team I thought,” Stone said.
“I love this team, they’re so tight,” the head coach added. “And that’s a credit to all the coaches we have.”
Stone wanted to give each his individual coaches credit: Robbie Jacobs, offensive coordinator; Todd Hazlewood, defensive coordinator; Randy Pudelek, linemen; Mike Keener, offensive linemen; Bart Snider, defensive linemen; Jim Shilling, linebackers; Keefer Tatman, running backs/linebackers; Donald Bowman, defensive backs; and Caleb Smith, special teams.
“A big thank-you to Jason Martin and and Robbie Jacobs, the coaches who have developed this team up through the years and have gotten them ready for the eighth grade,” Stone said.
