nice job guys,

Today was offense day, although our first two plays were fumbles ( our first two fumbles) we seemed to pull it together and worked as a team. Our offensive line is learning their holes and are doing their best to open running lanes. Coach Maddalone continues to work with the backs on hole recognition. I would like our parents to work with the kids beyond practice, no matter what their position, to learn the holes. if you need a diagram of the holes let the coaches know. The tackling drills may seem to be long winded to a lot of parents, but trust me as a coach it is very important, and until we get the results we want we will continue with the drills. If any of you parents ever have a question regarding your kids do not hesitate to apporach the coaches after practice. Practice becomes more serious as we get closer to our schedule. Tonight we rewarded the big hit of the week for last week. The big hitters were Richard and Genrty who delivered hits on each other last monday. Please encourge your kids to hit hard safely and do their best. It looks like its going to be a great season. Remember practice starts at 6:00, try to be on time, it teaches dicipline. the coaching staff and I really enjoy every kid and appriciate the opertunity to work with them.
Go Pioneers!!!
Coach Cox
