The Pendragons have to be relentless with their attack, and must take the fight to Homer on Tuesday.
Homer did beat Wynot by 21 earlier in the season, and has lost to some really good teams so Pender certainly has their work cut out for them.
The Pendragons have to go in there expecting and believing they can win though.
Pender has to play to win as opposed to not to lose.
The Pendragons have to keep building their program and continue to head in the direction they want that makes them a winner.
Pender has a lot of potential they're just raw yet in my opinion.

I think it's important for Pender to develop some consistency in their play.
Inconsistency has reared its ugly head on the Pendragons, and affected Pender in a negative way at times this year.
The Pendragons have played great at times this year though, and when Pender is on they are on, and it is pretty.
The Pendragons have to try and win their first two games of the week next week to gain a lot of momentum for next Saturday's clash at Clarkson/Leigh.
Pender has to try and get over the hump and go on a winning streak before season's end.
So far inconsistent play has resulted in a .500 record, but there is time for that to change.

I think the biggest things for Pender are scoring and defense.
When the Pendragons' offense and defense are both on Pender is successful, but when both are off the Pendragons struggle.
And it also seems like Pender will play well offensively at times and struggle on defense at times, and vice versa.
