How has Cam Giesler looked lately? Haven’t heard too much about him in a while.

Cam is doing great. He has had probably the best Two weeks of practice going into his Senior season. It's a challenge telling kids during their Summer break to be at practice every morning at 7 am so when Kids show discipline on getting there, that's half the battle.

Cam has leaned up and gained incredible strength during the off season. We look for Cam to have a very good season....

Showing up to practice is an achievement? Every team in the state is practicing in the morning during the summer.

That bar is incredibly low. 

It is already on here in a tweet but here it is again.

Quite the non-district schedule for the Birds. The trip to Raceland should come with a W but the atmosphere will certainly help them. I'm going to say the lawn chair mafia will be out in big numbers that night.

@Breds82, they're already reserving their spots. A live look from Raceland...

I am thinking the Raceland game could be a running clock.

It's just sad to see kids have to make a decision to be a one sport athlete because sports go year round. 

My advice to players is do what you want to do. Do not let any coach tell you that you have to choose one sport over another. Trust me - if you are good enough to play, you will play. Above all else, coaches want to win and they are going to play the players who will get wins. They may wish you focused more on their sport, but if you are still good enough to start and/or play, you will play. Do what you want to do because it is a very short time that you get to play high school sports.

Preach!!!!!! I have to remind my son and wife of this all the time. We all went to school with a guy that didn’t put as much effort in as he should have, but was just so naturally talented he started regardless.

My nephew's team, Prince Avenue Christian, beat Highlands out of the 7 vs. 7 tournament.

He said they were really skilled and very competitive with most of the teams they faced.

FWIW, Prince Avenue won the Georgia Class A title last year and finished ranked in the Top 100 in Maxpreps. They return a QB going to Wake Forest and should be very good this year. 

Thinking Highlands should be pretty solid!

 

Prince Avenue ended up reaching the finals of one of the brackets and lost to a very good Gainesville, GA team 26-20 that will be one of the heavy favorites in Georgia 6A and probably a Top 100 team in the country.

Thanks ATL!  It is always good to get an outside perspective like this and I think Highlands will be pretty solid too.  

Almost time everyone!

From observing the games, Prince Avenue had one of the most intricate offensive schemes and they ran it to perfection. every play was drawn up to confuse the defense and get somebody open.

Their HC Greg Vandagriff is a mad genius.

His son is former 5* recruit Brock Vandagriff who is at Georgia.

Prince's OC is John Richt, son of Mark Richt, who actually had a stint as either OC or QB coach at Miami.

Their QB Aaron Philo has a chance to finish his career Top 3 all-time in the State of Georgia in yards and TD's if he stays healthy and they make a deep push.

What is crazy is Prince has to replace every starting WR and all but one of their secondary from last season and they still looked that cohesive.

Their offense is a thing of beauty and in full pads they play at a fast tempo meant to wear opponents out. If you ever want to see football genius in action watch their State Championship game last year. They played an amazing foe loaded with high end D1 talent and fell behind big early but absolutely wore them out physically. You can hear Vandagriff calling his shot at halftime that they were going to do it.

As a bonus, watch one of the gutsiest football performances I have ever seen from Prince Avenue's Bailey Stockton who had a huge game despite playing with a broken collarbone suffered just three weeks earlier.

Highlands fans will smile thinking of how Dale Mueller and some of his Championship wins where he did the same thing of just wearing teams out stamina wise.

 

 

Sounds like So. 6'4 295 Max Merz is going to be a good one.
