Everything this season has led to this week. One game left. One shot to finish the season in third place. The freshman East football team is looking to finish strong!

No hype. No guarantees. Just Campbell County standing in the way.

Practices feel different now—not louder or flashier, just more serious. There’s less joking around, more focus. Players aren’t just going through drills; they’re sharpening every detail. Footwork, routes, reads—every rep matters.

The weight of the season is on everyone, even if no one says it out loud. Some players stay late, running plays on their own after the lights come on. Others study film in their free time, looking for tendencies, searching for any edge they can find.

They remember what happened last time against Campbell County—the mistakes, the missed tackles, the opportunities left on the field. None of that can happen again. Not this week.

There’s a tension in the locker room—not fear, not nerves, but something tight in the chest. Everyone wants this. Everyone knows what’s at stake.

They’ve been grinding since summer for a chance like this, and now it all comes down to four quarters on Saturday.

No banners. No celebrations. Nothing’s finished yet. Right now, it’s just work. Eyes on Saturday.
