If you're a high school football coach, you know how the story goes. Some programs have more advantages than others. And Reagan High School, like many in Austin (Texas) ISD, falls firmly in the "others" category. The Raiders went 1-8 last season, but it wasn't for a lack of effort. Head coach Keith Carey and his staff wouldn't have gone to the trouble of producing the video below if they didn't care.
That's why the Reagan players will absolutely love this video. At first glance, I actually thought Reagan kicked tail up and down the field last season. That's how the players will feel, too. It's not the truth, as they know, but it's not how the video makes you feel, and that's all that matters.
Put it this way, ESPN isn't beating down the door to show a Reagan game any time soon. This is the closest to the big time these players will ever get, which is why the work of Carey and his staff is so important.
Those baby blue and red uniforms look pretty darn good as well.
