We took the bus ride to perdition yesterday. We left Charlotte @ 5:30 am for a 2pm game in Northern Va. We had 18 players on the bus, 38 parents, 1 coach & our team chaplin. I traveled with 2 other coaches in a car. We got there @ noon the bus arrived @ 1:15pm.
The team we played were AAU champions last season, had 22 players several were very good. They were great hosts & good sports.
The game however was a massacre, we had 2 safeties turned them over 5 times. We had 3 td's called back, I understand the refs were homers, but not at a cost to players. We had 6 different kids score. We really shut things down in the second half winning 56-0.
We took the players & parents to Golden Corral for dinner, The bus didn't get back to Charlotte till 1am.
It was a great experience for the boys, now I just have to make sure their heads fit into their helmets.

Awesome coach, man you guys had to be bushed!
We won 42-8 to move to 8-0 on the season. They were in GAM until the half. Went to mercy rule running clock in first quarter up 24-0- our kicker has really improved thanks to the Kohls video series- he hit all 3 PAT kicks, they are worth 2 points in our league. First team defense didn’t give up a score and just 3 first downs. We didn’t have a turnover for the 6th time in 8 games but we did have 30 yards in penalties and 4 bad snaps. Our onside kick needs work, we have only gotten 3 so far this year, our worst ever- since we went all onsides (until up by 3 scores) 15 seasons ago.
To win it all we will have to win 3 in a row- next opponent is unbeaten and had just 12 points scored against them all year. They have seen us 2 times, video in hand, have the books and DVDs etc so we expect quite a battle. If we are able to get past them, I really like our matchup in the semi-final game- seen them play - the finals most likely would be against a team we definitely have a shot at beating. Have yet to see them play- almost 100 teams in the league- but going by comparative scores etc

We pulled ours out, but it was ugly. We looked like we only had about half our guys at practice this week (see Stupid Basketball thread). Other team only did a couple of things and we would've flat shut them down but I've got a DE that will NOT keep outside leverage and we got beat a couple times on reverses. 5-1 with one to go before the playoffs. Our division finishes up this weekend, but the lower levels play a couple more weeks after us and don't finish til the 30th. So we've heard that there's gonna be a repeat of last year's hurry up and wait (if you remember this thread: coachhuey.com/index.cgi?board=generalyouth&action=display&thread=33935) and we're not gonna start the playoffs til November after the other divisions are done, after they assured us last year it wouldn't happen again. This is getting frustrating. |

Finished the reg. season 7-0 with a 25 - 0 win. Passing game looked a little better. Playoffs start sat vs a big tough disciplined team we beat in week 3. Should be a dogfight.

An ugly win is still a win! Enjoy it.

Sounds like the D is playing great. Keep the boys focused & finish.

Absolutely Joe! I've been a part of enough bad teams to enjoy every win.
Also found out this morning playoffs will be the 23rd and 30th, so some decent news.

We were off and face a 5-0 District opponent this week. We are 4-0 and haven't had anyone score on us yet. Will be tested this week I believe. Should be a lot of fun... can't wait to get practice started today!

Good job coaches
We won our game 27-0 and finished the regular season 7-0. We scored all our points in the first half then had a wide range of different players carry the ball in the second half. The playoffs start this Saturday against a team we have a very good chance of beating.
