FROM COAST TO KOSEK
NEW MIDDLETON OH- As the Springfield Tigers gear up for a significant Friday night football showdown against the McDonald Blue Devils, excitement and tension are palpable among fans and players alike. Both teams enter the fray with impressive 6-2 records, looking to bolster their playoff positions and vie for a league championship.
In a recent episode of the “Tiger’s Table,” host Steve Leslie sat down with senior standout Kaesen Kosek to preview the upcoming match and reflect on the Tigers’ season. Leslie heralded the significance of the night as the Tigers aim to secure outright league championship status, a goal they’ve aspired to all season long. Kosek, who had a pivotal interception in their last game against Mineral Ridge, highlighted the teamwork and camaraderie that define this Springfield squad. “First, I’d like to give a shout out to my D-line because I’m not making that pick if that Higgs, if he doesn’t hit,” said Kosek, emphasizing the collective effort that goes into each play.
When asked about the team’s preparation and mindset, Kosek revealed, “We don’t talk about this much. I think it is kind of an unspoken thing in the locker room.” He added, “Everybody on the team knows what needs to be done… and everybody’s doing what they have to do to do it.” Beyond their defensive prowess, Kosek also praised the offensive execution, pointing out that both facets of the game contribute to their overall success. “A great defense makes a good offense because our offense is always getting the ball in great field position,” he stated, showcasing the symbiotic relationship between the team’s units.
Leslie and Kosek also touched on the challenges posed by the upcoming opponent. “McDonald’s coming with their best shot… but if our defense stays lights out, and if Carson and Dante are playing like they have been on offense, I think we’re hard to beat,” Kosek said confidently.
