(Seguin) — Practices are underway for the upcoming season for the Seguin Matador football team. The Mats open the regular season two weeks from tomorrow at Matador Stadium against Alamo Heights. Seguin will be up in Pflugerville next Thursday for a scrimmage.
With his team having a year under their belt in a new system, Seguin 2nd year Head Coach Craig Dailey says they’re ahead of where they were at this time last year.
“(There’s) still a lot of work to be done, but (I’m) excited about the carryover that we have from the spring and the summer. We’re way ahead knowledge-wise (from) where we were a year ago. So the kids really retained what to do and now it’s all the fundamental things we got to get them back into it.”
The Mats will have a new quarterback at the helm of Dailey’s offense this year. A competition is taking place between three players: Freshman Corey Dailey, Sophomore Lane Seidenberger and Junior Justen Dannelley. Dailey says all three quarterbacks are currently even in the race to become the Mats starter.
“Sometimes one will look good and then the next couple (reps) or something (…) someone else will look better. That’s part of inexperience and youth. They don’t know how to play at the same level all the time. Right now I think it’s an even race. No one’s really taken control of it yet. We probably won’t make a decision until after the Pflugerville scrimmage.”
The Mats are back at it on the practice field today. Practices got started Monday.
The Mats are putting in the work for the upcoming season!
