Wall's Speed on Defense Key to Victory in Week One

The Hawks scrimmaged a talented Mustang offense last Friday whose speed rivals anyone that that Wall will play in 3A football this year. Despite the challenge, the Hawks’ defense performed well.

“They are going to be flying to the football [this weekend],” Guy said of his defense. “We are not really big up front defensively, but they are super fast. Everyone on our defense is a sub-five [second] 40. They are very fast and very aggressive. They will assignment football, but yet, they will do it and still get to the football in a hurry.

Coach Guy and Defensive Coordinator Craig Slaughter have prepared the Hawks to the best of their ability, and fans can finally see what Wall can do this Friday.
