2020 REVIEW
Frontenac got off to a bit of a slow start last season, dropping three of their first four games. The Raiders rebounded to win five of their last seven, before falling to Holton in the state quarterfinals. You caught glimpses last year of what type of team this could be. “The best part about last season was getting to play a full schedule and bringing our team together to play some good football at the end of the season,” says coach Smith, “We thought we played a really good schedule and continued to get better every day and every week. I think we learned how to enjoy every moment together, work hard and give our best effort. I was really proud of how the players responded to all the challenges and adversity,” Smith says of dealing with COVID-19, It was stressful…We had to find a game on a Thursday (McDonald County) and turn around and play them on Friday at one point. We learned that it takes everyone on the team to be successful…you can do so much more when you believe in yourself and your teammates.” This Frontenac team does lose a talented guy in Ty Gates, who is moving on to play at Pittsburg State.
