Hewitt-Trussville looks to keep playing 'complete football' as playoffs begin

Hewitt-Trussville looks to keep playing 'complete football' as playoffs begin
AS THE HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL SEASON WINDS DOWN, SOME OF OUR LOCAL TEAMS HOPE TO FINISH STRONG AND THAT INCLUDES THE HUSKIES AT HEWITT-TRUSSVILLE HIGH SCHOOL. 米兰体育 13 JULIAN MITCHELL JOINS US HERE IN STUDIO. JULIAN, HOW HAS THE SEASON SHAPED UP FOR THEM? SO FAR? WELL, GANTT BRITTANY, IT鈥橲 BEEN A GREAT SEASON FOR HEWITT-TRUSSVILLE. THE HUSKIES EIGHT AND TWO ON THE YEAR. THE 11TH SEASON FOR HEAD COACH JOSH FLOYD. AND TAKE A LOOK AT THIS. THIS IS REALLY JUST ANOTHER SUCCESSFUL SEASON SINCE TAKING OVER. FLOYD HAS GONE 90 AND 37. HEWITT HASN鈥橳 LOST MORE THAN FOUR GAMES SINCE 2015. THIS ALSO MARKS THE 10TH PLAYOFF APPEARANCE UNDER FLOYD. HUSKIES, THOUGH, HAVE ONLY REACHED THE SEMIFINALS THIS YEARS GROUP. THOUGH HOPING IT CAN MAKE SOME NOISE BEHIND A STOUT DEFENSE THAT HOLDS TEAMS TO 8.7 POINTS A NIGHT, INCLUDING PITCHING TWO SHUTOUTS TO END THE YEAR. ITS OFFENSE? NO JOKE EITHER. POSTING 38.4 POINTS LAST YEAR鈥橲 TEAM MADE IT TO THE SEMIS. FLOYD SAYS THIS YEAR鈥橲 BEEN DIFFERENT THAN LAST, AND THIS TEAM IS CLICKING AT THE RIGHT TIME. LAST YEAR REALLY, WE鈥橵E HAD A YOUNG TEAM, SO I THINK YOU鈥橵E BEEN ABLE TO SEE THEM GROW THROUGHOUT THE YEAR, AND I THINK THE WAY WE鈥橵E PLAYED THE LAST FEW WEEKS HAS BEEN REALLY, REALLY GOOD FOR OUR KIDS. AND I THINK WE鈥橵E BEEN PLAYING COMPLETE FOOTBALL. AND, YOU KNOW, I COULDN鈥橳 REALLY SAY THAT EARLIER IN THE YEAR, PROBABLY.

The Hewitt-Trussville Huskies are clicking at the right time. Hewitt-Trussville capped an 8-2 regular season with two straight shutout victories, showing just what makes this defense that held teams to 8.7 points a night so good. The offense isn't too shabby either averaging 38.4 points a game. Now, the Huskies prepare for the postseason, a first-round matchup against Baker. Last year, Hewitt-Trussville reached the semifinals. The team looks to go further this year. Head coach Josh Floyd says this team is different from a year ago, and he likes the way they're playing right now. >> FOLLOW YOUR TEAMS: Sports coverage from 米兰体育 13"Last year, really, cause we've had a young team, so I think you've been able to see them grow throughout the year, and I think the way we've played the last few weeks has been really, really good for our kids. I think we've been playing complete football and I couldn't really say that earlier in the year probably, but I think we've played really good complimentary football the last few weeks," Floyd said.
