A young Brady Bulldogs squad took its lumps during Shay Easterwood’s first season as a head coach, enduring an 0-10 campaign that saw it outscored 412-169.

But Easterwood was anything but discouraged by the end of his first year back at his alma mater.

Not only did his team continue to battle throughout a difficult season, but many of those same players went on lead Brady’s other athletic programs to tremendous success. And now in Year 2 with the bulk of last year’s roster back, Easterwood is confident that experience in other arenas will pay dividends on the football field this fall.
