I hear you, but don't worry about decisions b/c the players may think they get to choose their position, but they do not...:lol:

 

I hear you lol. If I am an athlete and play a little round ball and play the hot corner, my playground and batting cage time just increased.

If I am told as a youngster play the o-line or else they must be serving j-jones type koolaide. I thought coach Turner was the magic man. I was not part of the rank and file so perhaps I see it differently.

The coaches are nice about it & they do have a way of encouraging the guys to do what's best for the team. They will let them know they are needed in their role etc. Coach Turner is the magic man! Guys line up to play on his line.

Good to hear!

Not that you overlooked, but had such a wealth of talent at that position. Ziegler is going to be phenominal but at year's end last year he was going to NCC from what I was told. Glad he changed his mind. Trust me, I meant no disrespect to the coaching staff of the red team.

 

Ziegler was indeed not going to NCC. He was going to CCH before his experience in the Junior League. At least that's what someone told me his Grand Daddy said. But who cares, he's at HHS.:thumb:

It's not really that hard.

"son, when we practice how many guys are there at your position? How many are ahead of you on the depth chart? How many guys are over there at guard ? I feel like if you were at guard you would compete for a starting position today. Don't you? I really feel like if you were to be one of our starting guards it could really take our offense up a notch and we would be a better team."

Most kids are looking to get on the field. An offer from the coach to move closer to that goal is generally well received. .........when they get home and dad finds out.....

If your an underclass man I get it! The point about Dad finds out I am sure that happens as well! In your own peer group as a frosh not so sure two platoon is a best practice. Kids should have a taste of both sides of the ball. Keeping them fresh in varsity makes sense, baby birds not so much. Obviously one man's opinion. Better minds in those positions I am just making an opinion. I would like to see a few slotted on the one side of the ball wreck havoc on the other at least play a few series as a position switch might be in the cards the following year.

Necessity is the mother of invention, where you play on the field, and if you go both ways. I expect necessity to show up at the frosh practice right after the first game.

No news is good news I take it. Mini-scrimmage this week against the Shamrocks and then it is game on the following week. Sure the boys and coaches are excited and ready to get things going for real.

Agreed JOAT. It is game week at HHS.

Any thoughts about the frosh after scrimmage after the varsity scrimmage tonight. Since they were playing against T's jv b-team, I thought they did pretty well. A father from T said they did not bring their frosh team due to 90 on the frosh squad. Wow.

 

Any news on Jack J. He seemed injured rather than just hurt.

I stuck around last night for a while to check out some former players of mine. Uhhhh!!!! Bo Hebel couldn't be blocked. Even by Trinity's JV! No wonder they wouldn't let Bo play his 8th grade year with me and elected to play him up on Frosh in 2011. Bo is a freak!! I thought Jared Doughtery did a nice job on both sides of the ball and also an outstanding display by Conner Kreiger(SP) at QB. Also watch Brandon Bradford continue to play at a high level. Unfortunately for Brandon which I hope I'm wrong but it looks like he has maybe finally peeked with size. Overall not a bad outing!

How did Austin Hergott look? I saw him warming up and he has some nice size for a Frosh QB. He also looks to have good form when throwing the ball.

Didn't do bad but just didn't stand out in his performance like Krieger(SP) did. After what I saw last night, don't be surprised if Krieger(SP) doesn't get the nod. The kid is a gamer!!! Scary quick.....

Sounds good, not familiar with Krieger is he a former FTJrFL'er?

 

When is Baby Birds first real game?
