Lots of people want to win the day of the game, but it's the towns where the players put in the time in the weight room and on other sports that do well year after year.
NP had a good core of people who put the work in this year and it took them a long ways. If everyone would have done the work, there wasn't any reason they wouldn't have been a state champion.
Not saying of course that Velva would have just rolled over and played dead. But look Velva graduated what was it 12 seniors this year? And then they are state champions again. They are a team putting in the work, nothing magic about it. If NP wants to be champions, they need to put in the work, next year is already here, how many NP players hit the weight room this week or are they just going to take some time off, like 8 months and figure they can do it game day while tired and puffing?

Already into wrestling mode, got to take off a few football pounds, nothing big.
And the grades are of course the important thing. It's the same sort of thing there, keep working at it, don't get behind. Don't try to just cram a couple of nights to get by. Lots of people want to do well on the test but it takes doing the work beforehand to be really ready.
