Lifting results - Congrats Randall Cork

Players and Parents...please read on!

Soon results from our lifting classes will be posted. When you see them, you too will say, Congratulations to Randall Cork! Randall is ranked, through total lifts, as the strongest player on our football team! This has nothing to do with size (weight) but rather his willingness to dedicate himself to being the best player he can be...regardless of size. Think about this...Randall is stronger (combining squat, clean, and bench) than players 25 pounds, 50 pounds, 75 pounds, 100 pounds heavier or even team mates twice his size! Randall is dedicated to being excellent in everything he does and the proof is in the results.

So, everyone else, take note. Randall has set the bar at a place where, at least, each lineman should already be and strive to surpass. Please, take the time and consider your plan of improvement.

Stop by and see me, I am always here!

Coach Q

summer schedule coming soon

The summer schedule is in the final stages of approval. I should have approval by early next week and then will post the entire summer schedule. On a different post, please pay attention to the lifting update. It is obvious that we need to be in the weight room **Before the summer begins!**

Please do not begin to think that lifting for the 60 days summer period (and only 16 lifts scheduled at the school) will lead to a state tournament run. With the strong upgrade in our schedule we must prepare our bodies for the 15 week long haul. The time is now!

Stop by and see me! I'm always in!

Moratorium Dates 2011

All,

The IHSAA official Moratorium dates for the summer of 2011 are July 4 - July 10. By definition:

RULE 15-3.4 MORATORIUM

Each member school shall observe a moratorium starting on Monday of the week which includes July 4th. During this seven-day period, there shall be no contact between athletes and coaches, and no athletic activities, including conditioning, conducted.

This Moratorium time would be the perfect time for a family vacation, mission trip, or just down time. If at all possible, please consider these dates when building your summer schedule.

Go Big Blue,

summer workouts and 7-7

All,

I trust you are enjoying some added time at home during this Icebowl 2011! During the past few weeks I have heard from some of you in regard to your summer intentions for 2011. I realize you have mission trips, family trips and football camps to attend. Please let me know of the dates you are not available. I am attempting to put together an outreach summer workout schedule but want to be sensitive to the common dates that players will be away from the HCS campus.

I am in the final process of locking in dates with Mr. Freeman for the summer so if you want to give some recommendation to me prior to the final dates being released, please do so...ASAP.

Enjoy the ice! Coach Q

Zone training workouts

All,

The new year has started and many of you have committed to increasing your workout schedule. Thanks to our friends at Hoffacker, I now receive attendance reports for our Zone training held on Monday and Thursday. There are a few players who have improved via Zone training in the past two weeks (four afterschool workouts). Here is their attendance:

Calabro - 1x
Hutton - 2x
Lucas - 2x
Marsh - 4x (way to go!)
Schrock - 2x
Steeb - 1x

Kudos to those six players...but where are the rest of you? This is FREE Zone training to improve your speed, quickness, and agility!!! I realize some of you are involved in basketball or swimming...but the rest of you?

We want to "finish strong" next year and the only way to accomplish the task is in proper preparation. I look forward to much better attendance/results on Monday and Thursday workouts. Let me know if you have any questions.

Go Big Blue, Coach Q

Players,

In an amazing Technology glitch...I have lost all of my contacts on my new cell phone. So, please, text me so I can reload your number into my phone. I would have loved to have text you all at the stroke of midnight, but, know I am thinking and praying for all of you. Don't forget...text me.

Q

Happy New Year!

Eagles,

Happy New Year! I trust that you are prepared to receive all of the blessings that the Lord has planned for you throughout this New Year. The Lord has tremendous plans for all of us...they may not be our plans, but I encourage us to follow Him and realize all that he wants us to experience throughout the year. Peaks and Valleys...let's discover them together!

New Years Blessings,
