The Steve Ary era has yet to begin in earnest, but the new Mountain Home High School head football coach already has some ideas in mind on what it will take to turn around the program.Ary discussed the upcoming changes he expects to implement after being hired at Thursday’s regular monthly meeting of the Mountain Home School Board.The new Bomber mentor says everything starts with the weightroom and to expect a very tough, physical football team this fall.
Listen:
While Mountain Home has concentrated on being a ground-and-pound running football team in recent years, Ary says he hopes to incorporate more passing into the offense and will start evaluating players as soon as possible.
Listen:
Defensively, Mountain Home will not be married to just one base defense, Ary says.
Listen:
Ary will be leading the Bombers into a new conference this fall, as the team switches from the 6A-East to the 6A-West for at least two seasons. While Ary spent last season as a head junior high coach in Harrison after retiring from West Plains, he says he will be putting in the time to learn Mountain Home’s new opponents.
Listen:
Building a winning football program does not come from just one coach or the players. As West Plains turned from a team that drew 50 or fewer fans for a home game in his first year to crowds of several thousand in his final season, Ary says the community will be a vital part of turning things around.
Listen:
If the team takes on the demeanor of the head coach, Ary says expect to see a pumped up group of Bombers in the 2020 campaign.
Listen:
Ary expects to meet his new players this week and to begin his new position in the district by the end of the month.
