Steers resume season with district clash against Gainesville Friday

After spending their open week nursing injuries and sharpening up their fundamentals, the Graham Steers (2-3) are set to officially embark on their hunt for the 4-4A Division I district crown. The Steers kick off their district title defense with a home matchup against the Gainesville Leopards (0-5) on Friday, Oct. 9.
“The kids are going to be ready and excited to start their new season,” Steers head coach Kenny Davidson said. “Our goal is to go undefeated in district, and you can't go undefeated unless you win the first one. We're focused on our new season and opening district play with a win at home.”
Although Graham lost three of their five non-district contests, having faced larger-enrollment schools with established programs benefits the Steers more than if they were sporting a winning record over weaker opponents. The Steers entered the season relying on the emergence of several inexperienced players, and Davidson says those younger players gained a lot from squaring off against teams like Brownwood, Abilene Wylie and Argyle.
“They're not rookies anymore,” he said. “They've had that game experience against really good opponents, and we just have to build on that. They're not young kids anymore; they're experienced players.”
The Gainesville Leopards also survived through a grueling pre-district schedule, but failed to manufacture a win.
“You have to be careful when you look at their record because those teams they've played are really good,” Davidson said. “They have a good tradition of winning, and they always have talent.”
Gainesville's five non-district foes (Kaufman, Kennedale, Alvarado, Ardmore and Princeton) have a combined 22-3 record heading into this weekend's action.
“They're looking to start a new season, just like we are,” Davidson said. “They usually have really good athletes.”
Gainesville's most notable playmaker is senior running back Zukari Long. The highly-touted power back has been dealing with an injured arm, but Davidson expects him to be ready to lead the Leopard's Wing-T offense on Friday.
“He's a big running back,” Davidson said. “We're focused on trying not to give up the big play and making them earn it down the field.”

The Steers and Leopards are scheduled to open district play at 7:30 p.m. Friday at Newton Field.
