🐯 POSZICH BALL MAKING AN IMPACT FOR THE TIGERS
Friday night, Princeton’s special teams unit showed just how much of an impact it can have on a football game.
🏈2 punt returns for touchdowns.
🏈9/9 on extra points.
🏈And a blocked punt that unfortunately was wiped away.
That kind of production doesn’t happen by accident.
Leading the way is Special Teams Coordinator Coach Derek Poszich, who has been a part of Princeton football for 9 years (3 at the middle school 6 at the high school) and has coached more than 100 games for the Tigers between middle school, JV, and Varsity.
But Friday night was about more than the numbers from the past. It was about what Coach Poszich and this special teams unit are building right now.
Special teams can change the momentum of a game in a matter of seconds, and Princeton showed that Friday. The challenge now is to keep that same level of preparation, ex*****on and energy going throughout the season.
One big night is a great start. But if the Tigers can continue making plays like these, special teams could become a major weapon for Princeton as the season moves forward.
Friday was a statement. Now it’s about continuing to make one every week.
