The Blue Bison are coming off a 7-3 season in which they lost to CBA 28-0 in the playoffs. The players view it as a down year, one they don’t want to repeat. They’re looking to go back to the Blue Bison ways of old to bring a title back to Shaker for the first time since 2018. “We think that the past few years we’ve lost that toughness of what we thought the Shaker program used to be,” said senior running back, defensive back, and kicker Jake Smith. “We’re bringing that back this year and we’re showing everyone this year that it’s going to be different. Trust our coaches, trust our teammates and trust ourselves and bring it to everyone this year.”
