HS Football Week 8

It was a great win in front of a great crowd Friday night.  It was good to see so many former players and to be able to put on a good performance for them.  I really felt like we closed the gap this last week.  We showed great improvements in so many of the little things that we have struggled with all season long.  I am looking forward to that improvement continuing this week.   

Weekly Theme-Grace

Ephesians 2:8-9 “For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this not from yourself, it is the gift of God—not by works, so that no one can boast.”

Senior Dinner

I will be taking the seniors out for our annual steak dinner after practice on Thursday, November 8 before we play Galveston on senior night.

Playoffs - Thanksgiving

Only the top two teams in the district are guaranteed a playoff spot so every game is a must win game in order for us to make the playoffs.  I certainly believe this is possible and believe that our first round playoff game would be a very winnable game.  This means that we would be playing the Saturday after Thanksgiving and practicing during the week of Thanksgiving like we did last year.  We will not have practice on Thanksgiving Day.

Blue Shirt Warriors

Each week we select a player that has closed the gap the most during that week.  They will get a special t-shirt and their picture is on the box score page for that week’s game.  Click here to see this week’s selection.

Winter Sport Tryouts

I would like to see all of our players participate in multiple sports.  There are tryouts coming up for the winter sports.  Football players can go to those tryouts however they are not allowed to participate in practices and games until the end of the football season.  I have made some exceptions in the past but the player needs to come and talk with me first and should not assume that anything is just ok.

Film

There is a lot of film up for everyone to look at.  It is broken down into a lot of different play lists where players can look at specific things.  We were better prepared this week and I think by watching more film earlier in the week it will be even better this week.  It would be great if out scout team knew all the Woodlands plays before Monday.

Radio Show

On Tuesday night I will be on Chalk Talk Live from Gabbys BBQ at 7:30.  You can listen the broadcast live and at any point after it is over at http://www.tsrnsports.com/Broadcast/Broad-LoneStarNetwork.htm.

Morning Workouts

Attendance has been too low to continue doing morning workouts on Monday and Wednesday.
