Ladies and Gentlemen… the table has officially been set. Time for these birds to eat! Coach Gene, who turned 27 this week, dished out the game schedule at practice on Tuesday. The general consensus in the peanut gallery was “Wow, only 6 games?”, but hey… it’s better than 5, right? I’m personally just grateful that […]

So much so that the coaches called them together for an inspirational session just after practice. The practice was tough and physical and the boys met the challenge head on. Lots […]

In case you haven’t heard… the Eagles will be gathering for a preseason event at the Roy Rogers Equestrian Ranch on Saturday, August 2nd at 9am. I lost the email, so I don’t have all the particulars, but I was able to catch the “pancake” part. The gathering will give the boys a chance to […]

You Talkin’ to Me?

Hey Eagles fans… Coach Gene drafted the note below regarding the upcoming season. Check that… the note that Coach Gene plagiarized regarding the upcoming season. There, that’s better. All kidding aside, I was incredibly impressed with the support and cooperation of the parents last year. Other than those incidents that I personally instigated, I can’t […]
