EIGHT-MAN FOOTBALL: EDISON GOES ON THE ROAD TO WRAP UP REGULAR SEASON (2024-11-01)

Southern Tier Sports Report
ALLEGANY — A week after clinching a playoff spot the Edison football team hits the road for a regular season matchup at Allegany-Limestone.

“Our team feels great this week,” Edison coach Kyle Erickson said. “We are ready for the Gators Friday night, but are also excited about the playoffs next week.”

While the playoffs loom, the Spartans are staying focused on this week.

“We are still focused on trying to win our game Friday night,” Erickson said. “We still have things to work on that we want to try Friday.”

It’s a long bus trip, but that’s been something the Spartans have dealt with before.

“This is not our first long trip of the year,” Erickson said. “I believe we know how to handle ourselves on the bus and I believe we will be ready to play when we get off the bus.”

The Spartans know they face a tough test this week.

“They are a big team that plays defense well,” Erickson said. “On offense they try to take advantage of their size and try to confuse the defense with multiple formations.”

The Spartans know they need to run the ball and stay aggressive.

“On defense we have to continue to be aggressive and stop the ball and force turnovers and force them to make mistakes,” Erickson said. “On offense we need to be successful running the ball today. Put drives together and score points.”
