On Monday Male defeated Manual (JV) in a close game at Male, both teams looked very good but Manual had a QB problem due to an injury.

 

Last nite the Crimsons scored with a minute to go to defeat Male 35-32. This game went back & forth. The kicker for male who I know pretty well kicked off very well but missed his two attemps at PATs. One was wide right one hit the the left pole. He feels terrible as he has hit almost every kick this year. Manuals kicker was very good hit all five.

 

Male/Manual St X Trinity have very good kickers and the next three years these kids will grow and improve. In fact all these games were close between each other, we beat St X and X beat Manual, X beat the Rocks and the Rocks beat us. Rocks did not play Manual but that would have been a very good game too.

 

The future of these four schools look very good, there are some players and very nice kids. Rocks/Male/X & Manual all have really nice QBs.

 

Male's kicker has to go thru the year in having his worst game as his last, on film he raised his head too soon and the other his hips did not turn as soon as they should. I'm sure I'll be out this week with him as he wants to work on some things.

Its like putting a shot everything has to be just right and its so much mental.

 

He did make a tackle on the opening play and cut his shinbone some, but he said that didn't have any effect on his thought process.

 

Thanks to the Male coaches and the team mates for the relationships that have begun.

I also wanted to mention Bvallard/Butler/Eastern/J-Towns teams. I started in the opening due the District teams we are in with, but these teams I mentioned here are also very good. Butler has a very hard running back and he has the best size of any of the teams I mentioned in both threads.

 

Ballard has some key players too and a promising QB, they have a couple of kids who didn't play due to the varsity time, so you know they have some young talent.

 

Eastern gave us a real stuggle, but we had more speed. All these teams had very good numbers and the coaches worked hard. I had a great time as I got to meet some folks and as I held Chains for the Male games (JVs) and talked to the kids.

 

As a football guy I had a blast. I love the kids and football. I've seen the benefits of kids growing and myself seeing it from a different avenue.

 

Also the Male coaches allowed me to chase the balls during practice and be there to help my son as he kicked, and I got to meet some very nice people.

Thanks for the overview and insights. Great job. Should be an interesting next few years. Good luck to Your Kicker. I know he will do well.

I'm actually looking forward to the evolution of the Super District. I think this year has been pretty exciting, and with the youth in the district, we should see the best 6A football in the state every year. Think about it, if a kid wants to play the best football, against the best competition, he has 4 schools to choose from, and it's a win-win, IMO.
