Coach Zach Anderson joined Issac Forney on Wake Up Tri-Counties to discuss the new 8-man football team and heading to the playoffs for the first time in three decades. Galva’s football team is making history this season, reaching the playoffs for the first time as a standalone program since 1994. Head Football Coach Zach Anderson, a Galva alum, credits this turnaround to renewed community spirit, fresh athletes joining the team, and a culture shift toward hard work and determination. Shifting to 8-man football has brought new opportunities—and challenges centered around speed on the field. Coach Zach emphasizes that speed is a critical factor in the faster-paced, narrower eight-man format. He credits a culture shift and renewed energy for the team’s growth, with more students eager to join next season. With a 5-4 record and a tough road matchup against South Fork this Saturday in Kincaid, the excitement is palpable across Galva. Players, coaches, and fans are hungry for more and eager to prove themselves on the big stage. The big game kicks off at 6 PM on November 1st.
