Week 6 finds some teams in desperation mode, some in a search for consistency trying to now “manage” the rest of the their season and a select few in careful celebration mode. There is probably no more than three or four teams that feel they are where they thought they would be at this point. Adjustments through injuries, suspensions and low-performance levels are all part of the difficult task of keeping a program moving forward, sometimes rapidly and sometimes slowly.
It is a different world we live in today where the kids’ motivations are very different as well.
