I had my choice when I first came here. At the time the main reason I did it was because I thought basketball would be an easier sport to coach than football. When I started out I loved football as much as basketball. Eickhoff expects Hampton to be competitive in football by the end of the season. The Hawks feature three team leaders in quarterback Jason Kohtz, running back Ted Driewer and center Matt Hansen.
Football is more of a physical game.
I feel you got to get kids into mental shape to play football. Hurlburt also spends his winters coaching boys basketball at Greeley. He doesn't have near the wins that Eickhoff does on the hardwood but should have a better season on the football field. Despite that loss, Hurlburt still has high hopes for a team that features one of the area's best running backs in junior Mat Korth. We're starting freshman and sophomores at some key positions.
