By Jacob Smith [email protected]

In their final five game stretch, four of which were confer- ence games, the Titans finished 3-2 after starting their season 0-5 in their first five. Titans head coach Bob Ashley hopes his team can learn from that experience and carry their success at the tail end of last year into this season. “We’ve got to have success early,” Ashley said. “That helps build confidence. If we can get success early, that Jacob Smith | Daily Times helps us tremendously.” Notre Dame Titans varsity football team.

WILLOW WOOD — Rusty Webb doesn’t have to think too long when asked what his game plan is going to be this season for his Symmes Valley Vikings foot- ball team. “Offensively, it’s the same plan we’ve had for the past 19 years. We want to possess the ball and just grind things out,” said Webb who enters his 19th season as the head coach. The system has worked for the Vikings who are 116-74 during his tenure. Webb is looking for it to continue to work this season after a very young team went 4-6 last season and returns eight starters on offense and seven on defense.
