WastingAway

This will not be the last year for Paris Football. There are 13 8th graders coming up after this season that should stay together. The feeder program has been improved and the numbers in the feeder program is growing. Paris has just had a few down years as far as the # of boys in each class (must be the water in Stoner Creek). This could be the year for the Hounds to turn the tide and get back into the win column. A winning season coupled with 13 incoming Freshmen that should go deep into the middle school playoffs would lay the foundation to rebuild this proud program.

I would like to see Spring Practice allow incoming freshmen (8th graders) to participate. This would allow coaches to evaluate the new talent and allow the players to be introduced to terminology and so on. Also it would increase #s. I would also hope that no coach would bang his freshmen against older kids in drills or live scrimmage situations.
