OHATCHEE — Blake Jennings is back coaching Ohatchee football and Ohatchee as we’ve known it in the last decade is back.

The talent is more typical Ohatchee talent, and Jennings’ return after a two-year stay as White Plains’ head coach signals a more typical brand of Ohatchee football.

Ohatchee fans, the “Ugly Eagle” offense is back.

“At the end of the day, we’ve got our kids, our kids that are from Ohatchee,” Jennings said. “We’re going to come out there every day, and I’ll promise you this.

“There will be some smashmouth football and grit and toughness.”
