physicals are a must!!!

All,

Well it is almost time! On Monday morning we begin the 2010 season. I am very excited about all of our players who have their physical on file with the Athletic Director. There are currently only a few players who do not currently have a physical on file and therefore will NOT be able to practice on Monday unless this is taken care of before practice. Players who have expressed a degree of interest in playing who DO NOT have a physical on file as of late Thursday are: John Bryant, Alex Cook, Victor Hamilton, Hunter Jones, Connor Reilly, Ryan Schrock, CJ Stein, and Anthony Warrum. Please help in contacting the players in case they do not read this blog spot.

If you already have the correct paperwork please be at school to have this taken care of in the athletic department EARLY on Monday. This means before practice officially begins at 7:30. Let's get our season off to a great start by having EVERYONE at practice on time. You should be ready ON THE FIELD when the whistle blows at 7:30.

Keep in mind that Physicals have nothing to do with the coaching staff so do not ask a coach to run them down for you. This is something that we have known about all summer, players have been asked multiple times to have these on file, so please, step up and have this completed.

See all of you on Monday morning! Go Big Blue! Coach Qualls

Heisman Trophy Winner - Danny Wuerffel - Visits Team

The Lord continues to bless our campus with tremendous opportunities. Through the generosity of one of our parents; tonight was a special Heritage Christian moment. We were blessed with a visit from Danny Wuerffel. Danny (who earned the Heisman Trophy in 1996 at Univ. of Florida and went on to a career in the NFL) was in town discussing his mission - Desire Street Ministries.

Danny then took the time to stop by Heritage Christian School and invest time with our football team. Danny encouraged our players in many ways and the blessing of hearing from a Heisman Trophy winner created a lasting memory. Being a Gator Nation fan, this was a highlight that was indescribable. The fact that Danny has such a solid foundation in the Lord, is a tremendous husband and father, and is incredibly humble, made this even a more meaningful event.

Again, We Are Blessed!

Final Football for July!

Eagle Fans!

We are heading down the home stretch before 2 a days begin on August 2. On Saturday we have our last 7-7 outreach of the summer vs. Indian Creek, South Bend Washington, and Ft. Wayne Harding. Players are to be here at 9:15 and the first game will start at 10:00. We will finish with our cookout at 12:00.

I want to thank all of you parents for helping out in the cooking of the food at these events. Vanessa (my wife) is blessed to have so many people that have stood by her side and been humble servants. You are an incredible witness to many players and families who are watching. Thank you for spreading the love of Jesus Christ.

Next week we will a regular Tuesday workout and then two days of a mini team camp. On Wednesday and Thursday, players will be here from 11:30 - 4:30 doing team building activities, learning more about the game of football, and growing together as a team.

Thank you for your support this summer. We will have our two a day schedule out to you soon as the athletic department continues to work through the full schedule for everyone.

Blessings,

Coach Qualls
