Kind of a perfect storm of things. Still plenty of talent here at BD. Lost a ton of seniors from the 14-0 State Champs in '17. Lots of new people starting last year, and they've continued to grow up. I think Coach Simmons is getting settled now, too. Allen and Kirschner were both on staff when they moved into the head coaching role, Simmons had been gone from BD for a few years before returning (hired in March). Then, lots of staff changes. '18 was kind of a "lost year". I think things are getting back now to normal, but we'll see as the season progresses.
Anyway, this is a thread about the Irish. Great win again for that program and for a very good coach in Coach Peebles!
