It was a well executed press break until the last pass. For the “just hold the ball” people, they have not considered the possession arrow. Hold the ball, get tied up. UConn ball. Then people cry “just pass the ball to the two guys wide open”. I’ve lost on “just hold the ball”
Spring football is underway. A quick notebook from today's meeting with Bret Bielema and the coordinators on:
🏈 Tanner Heckel quickly impressing at corner
🏈 Jordan Anderson at tight end
🏈 Tyson Rooks getting valuable first-team reps

#9 seeded Central Christian comes out on top of three straight upsets and punches their ticket to the 1A-II State Tournament. The Cougars beat #8 seeded Otis Bison, #1 Weskan, and #5 Sharon Springs-Wallace County in their path to a Sub-State Championship where they travelled over 1,000 miles in the process. This will be the Cougars 6th State appearance and first since 2017. #sportsinkansas

The fact bill self hedges with Dickinson is absolutely mind boggling! I’d take my chances and go under every single one. He’s terrible defensively! I’m starting to believe self is stuck in time.
I’ve coached high school football for 30 years and have had ZERO parent drama…and I mean zero.
How??
I established a simple rule day 1 of my coaching career. DURING the season, I will not talk to parents about their son’s playing time, position or the plays that are called.
AFTER or BEFORE the season I’m happy to sit down and talk football.
It’s the athletes job to talk to his coach about those things. Ask questions, gain an understanding. Learn how to communicate!
If you can build trust with your athletes, create space for parent conversations outside the season, the stress and pressure of the season won’t be ruined by some parent who thinks they know better than you.
@DaveDejmal Helped my cousin one year out in Sharon springs finish off his corn harvest. It was dark at 4:30. I keep the lights off as long as possible.
@TannerHeckel1 of Lyndon surpasses 1️⃣5️⃣0️⃣0️⃣ points in his career after putting up 31 points in the first round of the 2a State Basketball Tournament! 🏀
