Head coach Lance Pedersen has the same goal for his team in his ninth season as he does every season — to go 1-0 “each and every week.”
In addition to piling up “undefeated weeks,” Pedersen wants his team to stay “locked in” on the opponent of the week.
The 2021 campaign ended at 6-3.
“We are really excited to get the season started,” said Pedersen. “Each practice we have worked hard to ‘get better today’.”
“Our guys have shown some great growth over the summer both physically and mentally. We are continuing to work on developing depth at all positions,” Pedersen said.
Speaking of depth, the coach has it on the sidelines this season, as well.
“This year I have put together a staff of 15 coaches, and I am really proud to have them represent Mustang football,” he said. “I believe I have the best football staff in the state of Iowa.”
The Mustangs will take their home field Friday, Aug. 26, hosting Anamosa. Pedersen is eager.
“We look forward to having a great crowd on Friday nights. We have the best student section in the state, and I can’t wait to see them at all of our games this season,” he said.
