New coach, new attitude: Moore era begins

Friday night’s practice/controlled scrimmage was a marked improvement on how the day started, according to Steve Moore, Evanston High School’s head football coach; he found it hard to believe that the same group of players he sent off the field following practice Thursday night were the ones that showed up the next morning.

“Friday night was much improved,” Moore said, laughing. “Thursday night was really good, but Friday morning? Not so good. Friday night? Better. Then we had a little walkthrough on Saturday, just walking through pregame, getting all that figured out, so that it’s not a mess this week, and that was good. So, yeah — much improved. But Friday morning was not good — compared to the rest of the week, anyway.”
