<table> </table> The practice jerseys, the coaches&#8217; caps, pretty much everything is new at Staley High School.</p><p>Still, somehow new coach Fred Bouchard doesn&#8217;t feel like he has a brand new football team.</p><p>&#8220;I feel like we have been working at this a long time,&#8221; he said. &#8220;We have very few new players, but for the most part they have all been working all summer. So in that regard, the newness has kind of worn off.&#8221;</p><p>Bouchard took the coaching job at the new high school in the North Kansas City District shortly after leading Harrisonville to its 41st-straight victory and fourth Missouri Class 3 state championship in five years.</p><p>Now, he has 125 players -- freshman through junior class -- that he will try to mold into the same type of teams he had with Harrisonville for six seasons.</p><p>Already, between summer camps and off-season weightlifting, Bouchard is seeing some growth.</p><p>&#8220;When we finished camp, we felt really good about the development from early in the summer to now,&#8221; he said. &#8220;Our coaches will say they can see things starting to come together and the execution is better.&#8221;</p><p>One of the biggest challenges for Bouchard and his staff is to find the right positions for the young players.</p><p>&#8220;Our best quarterback is also our best cornerback,&#8221; Bouchard said. &#8220;And our best outside linebacker may be our best runner, too.&#8221;</p><p>Regardless, the Falcons&#8217; coaches mostly want to see improvement during the inaugural season.</p><p>&#8220;Our measurements probably have to be a little bit with a different paradigm,&#8221; Bouchard said. &#8220;Maybe more than any other year we are going to talk about finishing strong and the journey we are on.</p><p>&#8220;If you only measure it on objective things like &#8216;You won this play and lost this play and won this game and lost this game,&#8217; there could be some disappointment early.&#8221;
