PCA hopes to rediscover formula for winning ways

Published 11:39 am Thursday, October 6, 2011

As they hit the stretch run of the season, the Porters Chapel Eagles aren’t really looking for wins. They’re looking for something much more vaulable — consistency.

PCA won its first three games, but has since lost three of four. The final four games, which begins Friday night at Sylva-Bay, include a pair of district matchups that will determine PCA’s playoff destination. Getting back on track before crunch time is a primary goal, coach Wade Patrick said.

“I just want us to play good, week-in and week-out, no matter the competition. If we do that, we can be a pretty good ball team,” Patrick said. “We haven’t built it back-to-back-to-back. We’ve got to get back on track. We’ve got to run the football and be able to protect it.”

The Eagles (4-3) will certainly have an opportunity to look good on Friday. Sylva-Bay reached the MAIS Class A semifinals last season, but has struggled since losing star running back Cody Prewitt to graduation.
