Hey everyone, I hope that your Easter went awesome and everyone got to participate in an Easter egg hunt (LOL). So I thought I would give everyone an update on how spring ball has been going. Practices have been a lot different than most of us are use to. Practice tempo is crazy fast compared to last spring’s and we are playing very well.
This spring we have had to dodge the weather more than usual, we all keep telling coach Morrell that we have never had this much snow in any spring ball in the past, he just laughs. Our team voted on team captains for our 2011 campaign and I was selected by the team to represent them along with Kevin Schey. It was a great feeling to be voted captain of our football team. So back to practices, we have been getting after it during our practices, we have been working hard and the coaches have been pushing us in the weight room and on the field. Coach Morrell tells us almost every day that the coaches are going to push us to our breaking point, that it will not be fun and that he only knows one way to have fun and that is to WIN WIN WIN football games.
So we had school off last Friday but since we have missed so many practices due to the weather being so bad we had to stick around until Saturday afternoon, which sucked because going home for three days would have been really nice to have, but we needed to practice so we can get all of our sixteen practices in before spring ball is all over with. Coach didn’t want to keep us here over the break but he knew that the team would rally around his decision. So on Sunday my dad, Vance and I got to go fishing and let’s just say it was awesome. We caught around fifteen rainbow trout and here is a picture of my big boy I caught. I hope everyone had a great Easter and I will check back in before semesters are over.
