Looks like practice here went as expected.

Don't have you on Facebook post some when you get the chance. We still got some out on vacation, and I think we could get a few more.

KC had I think I counted 59 but I know of 2 or 3 that are still gone on vacation. Our numbers should be real close to 62-64.. Not bad for a school a few years ago that could only muster about 40. Speaks volumes of how much the program a progressed in past few years!!!
#7
I sure does panthernation!! Also, the success you guys have had speaks volumes!!
#8
Made it around to a few practices in the big sandy yesterday. Its gonna be a good year for some mountain football!

Haven't heard anything yet. I just know this is our first time in 4 years without Jonathan Jackson on the field. All we did in that span is lose like 4 games have two runner up finishes and 2 rings. Rumors are we may be better than last year. Hard to replace his leadership! I think if the leadership steps up we will be scary. I think we will really spread it around. I think we will be really strong on both lines as well. I really like our DEnds both are experienced tall and fast. Got a 8th grader fixing to start practice at the Middle School. So I will start to hear how things are going at the hs soon. I have equipment pick up with him today. He is big so they usually send him to the HS to get his shoulder pads so I may hear soon.

You looked pretty good throwing the ball at practice Monday .......
#17
I heard Conner looked average against Beechwood in 7 on 7.
#18
Hey bearcat88. If I looked good throwing the ball, then breathitt will go on probation for having a 40 year old playing.

If you watched them practice, how did they look? I don't care who starts qb. I hope they start back practicing like they did when Kyle played. Holcomb went to only practicing one day a week in full pads the past few years when it used to be two. Not doing tackling drills two days a week hurt the defense in my opinion. Missed tackles killed them against belfry the last two years.

Don't freak out man....I like you....but you are not qualified to question a coach with three rings.....
#21
^^Exactly.

Plus, I'm a firm believer that tackling is one of those things that you can or can't do. Think about it, great tacklers have:
-agility
-great hips
-explosiveness


A lot of those attributes you have or you don't have. I know that's a backwards way of thinking that most will roll their eyes at, but it's fact for the most part..
#22
With that said, like anything, the more you work on it, the better you get..to an extent. Everybody has a ceiling; some are a lot shorter than others.

But tackling one day a week vs 2, over a 3-4 month period in time doesn't make a difference in the grand scheme of things.

It's like Golf...if I want to get better at chipping from 20 yds out, I need to do it repetively; 4-5 days a week for an X amount of time.

If I just chip once or twice a week from May-August, then don't do it from September through April, then I'm probably not going to see much of a noticeable difference.

But, if I continue to work on the characteristics of great tacklers (see above post), then you'll see some change over time...improved tackling happens more in the offseason than in season, IMVHO.
#23
Tackling drills and going in full pads was just an example. Their practices in the past few years have been totally different than when I played. Nothing against coach Holcomb, he used to work our guts out and I thank him for that. He made us have 2 practices a day and that's not been done lately. I know there are a lot more restrictions now and that may have played a part in practice changes. It just looked like to me last years practices were a lot easier and layed back than what we had.
#24
Brossart numbers are down. Hope the new coach can change this
#25
