football fever

That's exactley the attitude that keeps good programs down. It should be the coaches job to use all their education skills and find ways to get and keep these boys on the field. Once you have them the hard part starts. To tell a teenager this is how it is, take it or leave it, is not the answer. That's a cop out. Some may have it to start with, some may not. If you run them off, how can this pride and tradition everyone talks so much about be taught. Are you just born with it or what? A good LEADER and MOTIVATOR will find ways to work with the ones that may not catch on as fast. The success of any leader depends on his followers. It's easy to ignore this, and just let them go away. A true leader will find a way to take a negative and turn it into a positive. Life is much to short and sometimes you only get one chance to make a difference. Hope everything works out though.

Time will tell, Hope your right!

It's not just Michael and Kevin. After talking to some of the boys, main focus is not their reason. Respect,and fun has to be part of this process, which they say they don't feel. We will not know untill baseball is over, but their may be more that will not play.

Let's hope it is just a rumor. Still wouldn't suprise anyone would it? Corbin only manages to hang on to 4 or 5 by their senior year. Wonder Why?

Can't agree with you more. If they wouldn't use the horse this year, what makes anyone think it would be different, Will never understand how a coach would ouverlook a kid that it takes halve a football team to bring down.

Wish one of those coaching guru's would explain that one. Michael could have helped out their offense. It takes 2-3 men to slow that boy Down.

When they get to watch the film they will see #26 touched the ball, you could see it rock. The ref missed it bad.

One for the Road. Look for someone new to step up for the redhounds. Go hounds. Corbin-26, Russell-13

Like the way the defense looks, Campbell is really coming on strong. Looks as if his limp is gone, and speed is returning. Hounds need to run that boy. If they continue into the playoffs they'll need his size and blocking skills to keep the defense honest.

Just wondering how much are the coaches responsible for. Just the wins.

Good question. Josh was very sick, French has a hurt shoulder, but could still play. Now Michael is a 240lb fullback who can't be stopped if given the opportunity. They use him very little and when they do he had to gaurd their speed. Guess they wanted to be in a shoot-out with one of the best 2-a teams around instead of controlling the clock and running it down their throats. Go figure.

Thanks for your quick reply. This kid goes to a city school that that is in the same county as he lives. His residence would not change. Thanks again.

Mid season transfers! Can anyone tell me if a player can transfer in mid-season and still be eligible to play. What are the rules. Help!!!

Like to see 20-25, The kid is unstopable! Where were those stats in your article.

Amen, Wait till they figure that out.

Love everyone's prediction! Hope you are right. SL can be dangerous. Watched them this year, their screens can be hard to stop. Would love to see Sanders and Martin concentrate on defense and put French and Campbell in the backfield. I've watched them since they were little, Now their men!!!

The biggest problem with Corbin's offense is pass protection. Their are many receivers he can go to that will catch the ball, he just needs to have those 4 seconds.

Saw it with my own eyes, Forward progress should have put the ball on the one yard line, Bad call again!

Plain and simple you dont have to do squats to play football!

Strength training i agree. NOt 500 to 600lb SQUATS. Like i said. (Lets get into the 21st Century.)

Benching with an arc is incorrect and can cause back damage, as for squats with todays technology i am still amazed all these educated strenght trainers cannot find other forms of exercise that will provide the same results. It is wrong to put the human spine under such pressure. Lets get into the 21st century and quit using these Max #'s to prove their worth.:thumb:

If the other sports are that important to an athlete they can and should find time to do these things on their own. Not many kids have this dedication or drive.

Love to see it, but it will nver happen.

Lets not forget michael campbell, who beat jake in sprints drills. Cory sewell also has excellent speed.
