Having made it through the first week of practice, the Birds are at it again in what looks to be another promising year for the club. The boys have been running their butts off and sweating like dogs in a Chinese restaurant as they prepare for the upcoming season. I’ve personally been focusing on the […]

August 5th, 2008 · No Comments
Hallelujah… the football season is no longer just around the corner, it’s here folks… in all of it’s splendid glory! The 2008 Mighty Might Eagles took the field as a unit for the very first time last night to begin the requisite pre-conditioning routine. I have to admit, I was impressed with the kids as […]

Can a Brutha Get a Pancake?

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 […]

Bald Eagles Take a Beating

They never saw it coming. Blind-sided I tell you. It seemed a bit bizarre that the coaches were seemingly wrapping up practice at 7:30 tonight as the boys gathered in the middle of the practice field. Had we known better, we would have noticed the coaches looking over at the Peanut Gallery gettin’ all chucklehead […]
Injury Update

I promised Bill Oram that I’d post an injury update today on Walker Pattyson, so here it is. According to Coach Gene, Walker’s neighbor – an ER Nurse – checked out his arm and concluded that there wasn’t a break. Walker’s a tough kid, so I’m sure we’ll see him on the field this Saturday! […]

The Importance of Sportsmanship
October 18th, 2007 · 11 Comments
On the heels of the unfortunate incident at Tempe High School last week, I thought it was appropriate to revisit the notion of sportsmanship. To our young Eagles who may not fully understand the concept… you know how Coach Gene always says “Do the little things right, and big things will happen”?. Well, sportsmanship is […]
Dem’s Fightin’ Words!

Ladies and Gentlemen… for the first time in several weeks the Eagles (5-1) are at full strength as they prepare for their showdown with the Rattlers (4-2). Apparently, this is a good thing as the Rattlers coaching staff informed Coach Romel that the Eagles “better bring their A+ game this Saturday”. I don’t know where […]
