MATTAWAN, Mich. -- The Mattawan Wildcats finished the 2017 regular season with a win at Kalamazoo Central to win the SMAC East Division Title before falling to Forest Hills Central in the first round of the playoffs.
But with high school football season a week away, Mattawan head coach Ryan Brown said their loss in the playoffs is no longer the motivation. They are simply looking ahead to their Week One match-up against Kalamazoo Central.
"K-central - They've got a new coach, so I'm sure there's a new spirit there, new excitement. We've been talking about our discipline needs to overcome their excitement, " coach Brown added. "Our discipline will overcome their emotion. So I think that's really what we're focusing on now, keeping our ducks in a row and making sure we know where we're supposed to be on every snap."
