                   Only 1 week of the OffSeason Remains        
                   
Its almost hard to believe but we're now down to the final week of this off-season schedule.  We've had a very
good summer this year and our attendance was the best its been in a long time. Our Varsity attendance in the past
month has been consistently around 20 players.  The JV numbers have been discouraging as there has only been
on average about 4 kids showing up, but the Freshman numbers have slowly climbed as the summer went on and
that average is now up to double digits.  We had higher expectations from the lower levels going into   
the summer, but overall attendance was still a step up from previous years.      
During these summer months, players have lifted weights, competed in 7 on 7 events, worked hard in commanche workouts,
attended football camps, and helped out at the youth camp.  We had only one goal in mind for this summer and that was
to get better each week:  It was the focus in the weight room, at the HS camp and at the 7 on 7 workouts.  I believe
we have done that in all areas.  This is the strongest team we have had over the past 3 seasons and its also the
best academic team we have had in that time frame as well.  We're now looking forward to the start of   
two-a days!                  
                                  30 DAYS UNTIL BIRCH RUN!
