BLESSED & HIGHLY FAVORED!
After a crazy year, we’re headed back to Texas…
I’m excited to announce I’ve accepted a position at Mesquite High School as a Varsity Offensive Assistant. I am BEYOND EXCITED to get started!
I’m truly thankful to @CoachRT1988 for giving me this opportunity to get back to doing what I love!
Now LET’S GET TO WORK! 🦟

Happy National Tight End’s Day to our favorite TE of all time! @KnoxPilgreen It’s been such a fun ride watching you grow in the sport. You have shown the full meaning of 🐷/🥚 and we couldn’t be prouder.

Preach. We’re 1 win away from having more wins (4) in 1 season than this program had the last 2 seasons prior combined. 2 wins away from same amount of wins (5) from prior 3 seasons combines.
With 25 sophomores & 1 freshmen, but we should be undefeated & win it all this year.

CONSIDER THIS A RAID. 🏴☠️
7 PM | Pirate Stadium
Traveling with us? Plan to arrive early! Fans will need to park at Crandall High School and take a shuttle bus provided to the stadium. Allow extra time so you don’t miss the action.

Interesting fact: A high school football game has 48 minutes on the clock.
But a study found the average play lasts just 5.6 seconds. At 130 plays, that’s roughly 12 minutes of actual action between BOTH teams.
Months in the weight room. Summer heat. Film. Practice. All for opportunities measured in literal seconds.
And you don’t know which 5.6 seconds will decide the game.
That backside block you took off? The pursuit you cut short because somebody else would get him?
That might’ve been it.

Don't freaking take your foot off the pedal now.
Some coaches start pulling back in practice.
They're trying to keep players fresh and healthy.
There's a right way and a wrong way.
The wrong way is reducing the intensity of practice and creating an easier environment.
The right way is reducing the amount of TIME at practice.
The intensity stays high.
I talked to a P4 head coach this season about load management.
The number 1 factor they found to manage player load was simply time.
Reduce time for a period and you reduce player load.
Trying to reduce the intensity of a period never works.
And this is backed by GPS data.
