NEWAYGO, Mich. -- In their second year under head coach, Scott Van Essen, the Newaygo football team is feeling much more comfortable as a unit this fall.
With a returning quarterback and running back, too, the Lions said their hope is to get back to the playoffs once again.
"It was awesome just being there because we were out a few years before and didn't have too good of a season," senior quarterback Connor Swinehart smiled. "We came in that season looking for a postseason and we got a postseason. That really motivates us to get back out here."
