GAME SCORES?

We lost 36-23. They had not showed option of the spread, guess they saved it for us. It worked. We were not ready for it. Adjusted at the half and came back, but ran out of time. They are a larger school (3.5 times as many boys) so we will not get another shot at them in the play-offs. Silver lining, I guess, was that JV beat the same school (shut them out too). So maybe that bodes well for next couple years (if we are not all fired first of course).

We lost last week 40-13 against a spread team. We worked on the coverage all week, but on Friday night instead of reading our keys most of our guys were just staring at the QB and we got torched. We're a young team going through some serious growing pains, as well as some serious physical pain right now.

Our starting QB has an ankle injury that we aren't sure of the severity, our second QB/Starting FS has a sprained MCL and an injured AC joint and rotator cuff in his throwing arm, and our "emergency" qb/starting WR has an injury to his meniscus. We're a spread team getting ready to play the best team in our region who's philosophy is to blitz like crazy and challenge the line to protect and the QB to beat them. Any suggestions?

I don't think the injury to our starting QB is too serious but I've never been around a team with as many leg and ankle injuries as we have suffered this year. We have had 9 different guys miss time with leg injuries already this year, ranging from sprains to stress fractures to torn ligaments.

BUICE AND MORG,

SORRY TO HEAR ABOUT THE PHYSICAL BEATINGS YOU BOTH TOOK, AS WELL AS, THE LOSS. I, LIKE YOU, HAVE NEVER HEARD OF SO MANY ANKLE INJURIES AS IN THE LAST THREE YEARS OR SO! THIS "HIGH ANKLE SPRAIN" IS A NEW ONE ON ME, YET IT SEEMS TO BE THE MOST PREVELANT. TIME TO GO BACK TO WEARING HIGH TOP CLEATS!!!

MAKE THEM RETICENT CB'S START HITTING EVERY DAY IN PRACTICE!!! IF THEY DON'T WANT TO BE AGGRESSIVE, GIVE ANOTHER PLAYER A SHOT THAT DOES!!! THIS GAME IS NOT FOR WHIMPS!!!

YOUR BEING A SPREAD TEAM, SEEMS LIKE THEY SHOULD BE READY TO PLAY ANOTHER SPREAD SQUAD.
SEEING IT EVERY DAY IN PRACTICE IS A BIG PLUS. JUST KEEP WORKING COACHES, GOOD THINGS HAPPEN TO THOSE KIND OF TEAMS. THANKS FOR YOUR UPDATES!!!

Coach Easton-TIGER ONE

My kids got our first win this morning coach 12-6 against a 2-0 team in our district. We're young but improving each week which is gratifying to see.

Hope you are doing well coach!

SUNDAY MORNING ONCE AGAIN, AND I CAN SMELL THE SMELL OF MOMMA FRYING CHICKEN FOR AFTER CHURCH DINNER. HOT BISCUITS, MASHED POTATOES AND GRAVY, CORN ON THE COB, SLICED TOMATOES AND ALL THE CHICKEN YOU CAN HANDLE. "A GALLON OF TEA TO WASH IT DOWN AND BICARBONANATED SODA BY THE POUND!" I THINK THAT IS HOW THE OLD RAY CHARLES SONG GOES.
THEN SHE BRINGS OUT THE PEACH COBBLER FOR DESSERT, TOPPED OFF WITH A BIG SCOOP OF HOME MADE ICE CREAM THAT WE CHURNED BY HAND. NOW THAT IS HOW US SOUTHERN FOLKS EAT. Y'ALL COME, HEAR?


JESUS SAID: I AM THE WAY AND THE TRUTH AND THE LIGHT. NO MAN COMETH UNTO THE FATHER BUT BY ME. TO KNOW JESUS IS TO KNOW WHAT REAL TRUTH IS. JESUS HIMSELF SAID; THE TRUTH SHALL MAKE YOU FREE AND HE WHOM THE TRUTH HAS MADE FREE, SHALL BE FREE INDEED!

MAYBE IT HAS BEEN A LITTLE WHILE SINCE YOU TALKED WITH THE LORD. TODAY WOULD BE A GREAT DAY TO CHANGE THAT. FORGET ALL THE "THE'S AND THE THOU'S" AND JUST TALK TO HIM FROM YOUR HEART. HE HIMSELF SAID THAT ANY MAN THAT COMETH UNTO HIM, IN NO WISE WILL HE CAST HIM OUT. HIS EAR IS ALWAYS OPEN TO YOUR DESIRES OF YOUR HEART IF YOU HAVE ACCEPTED HIM AS THE LORD AND SAVIOR OF YOUR LIFE. WHY NOT DO IT TODAY, HE IS JUST A SIMPLE PRAYER AWAY.

REV. J. C. (COACH) EASTON

jfhughes,

Rome wasn't built in a day, neither is a good offense. Glad to hear you started out well anyway! Just keep working, coach, and it will all come together for y'all. If I can help further, don't hesitate to ask.

We won 28-14. Some people are happy because the team we beat was ranked the #12 small school in the state. I am not. We were fortunate to win, IMO. They dropped several passes and we had a 100 yard int. return. It was a great play but we cannot count on that every week. We need to execute.

We play the #2 ranked team (for small schools) this week so we will see.

JV posted their second consecutive shutout so that is encouraging. It may be time to call someone up!

Thank you coach. We have a tough assignment this week. I charted 25+ formations that this team runs (50+ if you assume they mirror them). They have a dual threat QB who is a real player and the supporting cast is very good too. We will need to get after them, bring our feet and wrap up if we are going to win this one.

IN ALL YOUR PREPARATION THIS WEEK, I WOULD CERTAINLY PUT A SPY ON THE QB WITHOUT FAIL!!!
WE ALWAYS BLITZ A GOOD PASSER, TRYING TO HURRY HIM AND MAKE HIM MAKE MISTAKES.

COACHES,

SEPTEMBER HAS BECOME OCTOBER ALREADY AND THE SEASON IS HALF GONE! FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO ARE WINNING, KEEP IT GOING COACH!!! FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO HAVE WORKED SO HARD AND ARE NOT WINNING, DON'T START MAKING MAJOR CHANGES, ETC. JUST WORK EACH AND EVERY DAY TO GET BETTER AT WHAT YOUR DOING. THERE ARE MANY FACTORS THAT CONTRIBUTE TO A LOSING SEASON. TAKE CARE OF THE GLARING ONES ASAP, AND ADDRESS THE OTHERS AS TIME PERMITS AND IN THE OFF SEASON.

I HAVE FAITH IN EVERYONE OF YOU TO TURN THINGS AROUND AND MAKE THE LAST HALF OF THE SEASON A GOOD ONE!!!
