Combine Trail Comes To An End
What Is It All About?
Hey Gang,
Well I told you I would report on the combines. I am sorry for the delay but I have been busy with both work and being a single parent.
Combine Trail Comes To An End
We did it !!! We covered over a 1,000 miles in two different vans and a total of 9 different young men got to show out their skill set.
We attended the MSL Combine in Atlanta and the Scout Combine in Louisville. The kids had a ball and I truly owe the man upstairs a big thanks. I also want to send out a big thanks to the parents who let them go as well as those who pitched in a few dollars to make sure the kids had a great time.
I took on a huge amount of responsibility and the kids respected my leadership and I appreciate that very much.
What's It All About?
A combine whether it be NFL or high school is simply a test to measure your body and speed. The kids that are real fast love to get timed in the forty, the linemen hate it. The big show is all about the one on one drills.
Kids wait all day until they get that chance to play a little football without pads. A wide receiver just can’t wait to put the moves on a defensive back. A quarterback loves to put the ball in the receiver’s hands. The linemen love to push and shove and attack the tackling dummy used too represents the quarterback.
Is it the end of the world if you don’t do well in a combine? No but it is a good wake up call to say “get to work, you only have 60 days and we will be getting ready for the fall” June will be here a week from today and then we will be about 60 days from two a days. The combine is a good measure for college coaches to get a look at what’s available.
Life is about changes, since the last game of football was played at the college or high school level a lot has changed. They have issues just like high school coaches do. Some kids get stronger, some get slower, some get smarter and some grow taller. Kids in high school change that is what makes high school sports fun the kids are growing.
When you get to college you mature or learn not to put your hand on the stove the second time, but in high school all kids change their ideas from minute to minute to minute it so hard to keep them focused on the sweet spot in life.
That's A Wrap
Well that is wrap.
Once again thanks to all. I hope the kids that traveled those miles remember the fun we had for a long time. I had a wonderful time and I am glad that I was able to do it. Big thanks to everybody who made it happen and we will do it again next year.
Thanks for dropping in and we will be back next week.
God Bless

Spring Practice
Shake Ups
Combine Tour
Hey Gang,
Well you are probably wondering what happened to me??? A LOT! I have been real busy trying to be a single parent. I hope all of you are having a wonderful spring let’s jump in and get going.
Spring Practice
The coaches were ready to blow the air through the whistles and see what the kids have been doing all winter. Spring Practice is here and the coaches are trying to get a glimpse at what they may look like this fall.
You have some coaches who are rebuilding, some who are adding on and some who are already stacked. The object is to execute what you can and just try to hopefully be ready for the one scrimmage you get in the spring?
We have Lincoln County tomorrow in our backyard it will be interesting to see what we have.
Shake Ups
Yes, Gary Rankin has left region 4-5A and he took with it a lot of success and stories that people will be telling for years to come. The best part is Maryville High School will play Alcoa and that will be the game. Rankin vs. Quarles both have been coach of the year, both have a jewelry box full of rings.
It will be interesting this fall when these two schools lock horns.
Combine Tour
We will be traveling to Atlanta and Louisville for this year’s combine tour. I have several guys already up and on the site and more to come.
That's A Wrap
Well that is wrap.
Thanks everybody for your support.
I will be getting you updates on how well our guys do, until then God Bless and Take Care
PS: The TAFL championship is the Saturday Night in LaVergne and with the police arriving at last Saturday night’s games it was out of control. Good Luck to those two who made it The Snakes vs. the Limestone Lightening.
Until next week.
