The preview will include team goals as well as individual goals for the upcoming season from the Alma signal caller. So, lets get to know the Airedales and Joe Trusty.
Trusty is a quarterback that throws with good accuracy. He completed 61% of his passes a season ago and threw for over 2,100 yards in the process. Trusty makes good decisions with the football and will not force the ball into risky situations. Meanwhile, Trusty does a great job of using his legs to pick up yards. He rushed for 554 yards and six touchdowns last season. The 2022 season has the potential to be an even more impressive season for Alma signal caller.
The outlook for the upcoming season is a bright one for the Alma Airedales this season. The offseason has gone well for the Airedales and the team chemistry is high. Trusty is speaks highly of all his teammates and loves the work that is being put in by everyone. The Airedales will have the entire offensive line returning this season. The receiving corps for Alma is a talented one. Trusty is extremely comfortable with Drake Stogsdill, Derek Hatcher, and Shawn Rankins. Trusty informed me, “each receiver has the potential to take the game over.”
Looking at the goals for the upcoming season from both an individual and team perspective. The goal for the team that Trusty has is to just be more efficient in all phases. Trusty knows the team is going be balanced with the run and the pass and is looking forward to showing what the Airedales can do on the offensive side of the ball. Meanwhile, on the individual goals side of things, the Alma signal caller wants to have a higher competition percentage of 70% or above. He would also like to pick up more yards on the ground and force the defense to worry about how effective a runner he is. All of the goals that Trusty and I discussed are goals the Airedales can easily accomplish this season.
Trusty and his teammates are focused on the first game of the season with the Van Buren Pointers. Alma and Van Buren is a game that never gets enough credit. The games are always close and the football that is played is always solid to start the season. I expect the game this year to be a close one and one that will kick the season off in strong fashion for both teams.
Trusty is a quarterback that will open some eyes this season. He has played solid football the past few seasons and is a player that has the arm strength and accuracy to cause plenty of defense’s headaches. College scouts and coaches should give the Alma signal caller a long look. Trusty has the potential for a big season and the Airedales have the potential for a playoff run. Keep an eye out for Trusty, I expect a strong 2022 football season from the Alma signal caller.
