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

One day at a time

Saturday was a great day for HCS athletics! Congratulations to our Varsity baseball time for their second consecutive state championship. We also enjoyed a very successful 7-7 vs. Rockville and Mt. Vernon. All of our players received many snaps and learned a few new wrinkles as we move through this exciting summer.

This Thursday we will welcome FW North, Mt. Vernon, and Speedway to HCS for our time on the field. We will continue our Tuesday and Thursday Zone training this week and will finish with this very competitive 7-7. This will be the last workout and 7-7 until July as we will honor the IHSAA moratorium week next week.

I would encourage each player to continue to work diligently on our Zone workouts. We are already seeing tremendous benefits and the heat will get turned up in July and August so the base we are building in June will pay maximum benefit in the months to come.

By this time in June, all players should have their physical on file in the athletic department and therefore issued their helmet and shoulder pads. By the second week of July we will be moved into the newly painted and re-cleaned locker room. The football team will be submitting to the athletic department our plan to ensure that we are tremendous stewards of our facilities...including the locker room. In the past few years the football team has taken tremendous pride in maintaining excellence with our facilities and this year will be no different. In the mean time, please continue to bring your helmet and shoulders back and forth to each workout opportunity.

Go Big Blue,

Coach Qualls

Please plan on being there by at least 8:30 so that we can make sure we start on time. We will play with Mt. Vernon, Rockville and TC Howe.

Please make sure to bring helmet and shoulders and be ready to Rock!!!!

Go Big Blue...Coach Q

PS>>>>Leaders....contact your team mates and make sure they are ready to be at school at 8:30...ANYONE AND EVERYONE! With the Baseball team out and the Basketball team out also, we are short on players. This is a great time for younger players to get some reps!
