A message from the Coach:

We have had a good long off season where the players have lifted three days a week and we have run two days a week.  For the last month we have stayed after school and worked fundamentals and techniques until about 5:00 Monday through Thursday.  The running has been really hard on them, especially the bigger guys.  But they have fought through the pain and fatigue and we have seen steady improvement for the last month.  This coming week we will be testing, weighing and measuring our guys to see how much we have improved in the weight room.  We will not stay after school, unless they want to stay on their own and do a little throwing and catching.  The following week (May 7) we will start our spring football practice for Monday through Fridays for the next two weeks. Then, May 21 will be the last day of school for the students and we will be into the summer.  This semester has seemed to just fly by.  

Spring always has its challenges with coaches and players.  Coach Clinton is the Head Girls Soccer Coach, Coach Burgeis is the Head Boys Soccer Coach, and of course, Coach Moore is the Baseball Coach.  So we are a little short-handed in the weight room and after school and the same will be true for the first week of spring practice.  Plus, soccer and baseball have their state tournaments starting May 10 so we will go through the first week of practice short-handed in players and coaches.  That is why we try to wait as late as possible in the school year to start spring practice.  Coach Bradley has been helping Coach McClenny, Coach Johnson, and Coach Harriman and myself after school.  We have around 13 players playing baseball and about 66 going through off season so our numbers are up. 

Be pulling for our Baseball Team this week since they will go into the last week of the regular season with a chance to share or win outright the Conference Title.  Plus, all the other teams have seeding for the state tournaments on the line as they go into their last week of the regular season.  Spring never lacks in things to do or go see.  

Hope you can come to the stadium and watch some of our spring practices once we get started.  We have many spots to fill since we have only one starter returning on defense and four on offense.  But, with openings come opportunities for others and competition will be high as we go through our two allotted weeks of spring football practice.  

Incidentally, up to this point, we have not lost any coaches so our staff is intact for now.  We have a staff that are excellent coaches and they enjoy being around each other and have good chemistry.  That is hard to find!
