Seaford Blue Jays Football Preview
The Seaford Blue Jays finished up the season at 1-9 last year, but they heading into this season with changes on and off the field. The Blue Jays have found a new head coach in Dwayne Henry who is a former all-state Smyrna running back. Henry also was apart of the DSU football team who won the Hornets’ first ever MEAC Championship. Off the field, Henry has seen success as well coming from a coach at DSU, as well as an Athletic Director of Compliance at Coppin State.
The Blue Jays have won seven games in the past five years, but this is far from where the program was during its prime dominant period. Seaford is looking to get things back on track and take this football program in the right direction.
They do have high expectations for themselves, but that derives from being able to set up a foundation for this program to grow from and develop. Although a state championship, or a playoff run would be what they would want – what every school would want – they know this will be a process that takes time.
As for this season, the Blue Jays understand it could be a tough road, but they are optimistic about the future of this program and the places it will go.
