Sacred Heart-Griffin (SHG) is gearing up for the 2024 football season with a sense of continuity and experience that they lacked in the previous year. With 13 returning starters, including key offensive players, the Cyclones are feeling confident and ahead of schedule compared to last season. Head Coach John Allison notes that having familiar faces on the field has allowed them to progress further in their preparations for the upcoming games.
Despite facing tough opponents like East St. Louis in a week 0 scrimmage, SHG remains focused on their ultimate goal of being state champions. Their first game of the season against Christian Brothers College High School promises to be a challenging matchup but is also generating excitement among the team.
The Cyclones are not getting ahead of themselves, with their sights set on taking each game as it comes and aiming to still be playing after Thanksgiving. The players are determined to give their all on the field and work towards achieving their season-long objectives.
SHG’s dedication and drive are evident as they approach the new season with determination and a strong team spirit. The upcoming game against Christian Brothers will be a true test of their skills and determination but the Cyclones are ready for the challenge. With a solid foundation of returning players and a focus on their ultimate goal, SHG is looking forward to an exciting and successful season ahead.
