Fast Five: Longhorns Football Preps for Rockwood Summit

Parkway West High School's varsity football team is taking their game on the road this week to face Rockwood Summit Sept. 21.

The Longhorns have been prepping for their first win, fighting an 0-4 record. Ballwin-Ellisville Patch asked Head Coach Jeff Duncan about the team, the season and their competition.

Patch: What's the team's biggest challenge against Rockwood Summit?

Parkway West Football Head Coach Jeff Duncan: On offense, no turnovers and drive the football. Defense: do not give up any big plays.

Patch: What improvements have you seen the team make?

Duncan: Last week we got better at our assignments in all phases of the game. We cut down on turnovers (1) and penalties (2).

Patch: What can Longhorns fans look for in this week's game?

Duncan: We are a little banged up so it'll be interesting how some of our players step up and fill those roles.

Patch: Looking at the rest of the season, which opponent(s) will be the toughest competitor?

Duncan: Each week in the Suburban South is tough. It is no easier this week against a great Summit team.

Patch: Describe this year's team in three words.

Duncan: Together, determined, coachable
