Coach Jeremy Bosken’s first Boyd Buchanan football team has been training together with other Buccaneers sports teams.After running 42 sprints to end Thursday’s multisport workout at Boyd Buchanan School, the Buccaneers feel as if they are in a strong spot headed into a dead period.
“We want everyone to have a warrior mindset. No one takes anything from you. Everything is yours,” senior football and basketball player Eli Evans said. “Our coaches have pushed us every day. They are not going to let us quit.
“Last year (in football) there were times we quit and gave up. Coach (Jeremy) Bosken is not going to let us do that. We are going to compete until the very end whether we are up 42 or down that many.”
Coach Jeremy Bosken talks to his Boyd Buchanan football team after a workout. The football Buccaneers have been training with several other teams at their school.A football program that used to be a frequent state title contender had only two wins over the past two seasons but appears to be building a winning culture again – following what other programs at the school have been doing lately.
“Coaches from all sports are breathing fire on the kids and having a good time getting after it,” said Bosken, who arrived in January after coaching at Knoxville Halls last season. “The soccer guys are challenging us in the conditioning aspect, and the football players challenge others with their strength.”
