The Iowa high school football season moves into district competition tonight.  Oskaloosa starts its 3A District 7 season at Grinnell.  Indians Coach Jake Jenkins was asked if he was happy with the team’s progress at this stage of the season.

“Yes and no.  You’re never satisfied.  Are we happy with a win against Norwalk?  Heck yeah.  It’s been a long time since we’ve won there, and beating Washington and beating a solid Fairfield team.  I feel good about 3-1, I’d feel better about 4-0.  You can’t cry over spilled milk and we’ve got find a way to get better every week.  We’re playing Grinnell, but really we play ourselves.  Are we going to get better this week or are we going to take steps backward?  Our goal is always to be better than our best selves.  We better be better than we were against Norwalk.  That’s the goal going forward.”

You can hear Oskaloosa’s game with Grinnell tonight on KMZN and the No Coast Network. Pregame at 7:15; kickoff at 7:30.
