Edgewood looks to learning, hard work before football season

Football is a game of inches. The skill positions are the typical focus, but students of the game understand it all starts at the line of scrimmage. Edgewood coach Joe Brewton is a player turned coach, but he might prefer the title of football student turned teacher. 

“I’m teaching them about the game of football,” he said. “It’s a game of inches, not a game of miles. It’s literally inch by inch. So it’s teaching them an understanding, like I don’t want them looking at the play clock or the scoreboard. (I tell them) focus on the play in front of you. If you focus on the play in front of you, at the end you look up like ‘Oh wow, did we really win? Yeah you did.’”
