We are still finding our way defensively and offensively after having to shuffle guys around because of some bad luck with injuries. We will keep improving over the next couple of weeks. Our guys are resilient and will step up. That was a great tribute after the game for Coach Streeter coaching in his 400th football game. He has been a rock for Ord’s football program for many years. He is a great man and has had a tremendous impact in our school and for our young men for many years.” The Chanticleers will be on the road to Gibbon this week.
