Seems like weight lifting has started for the Pirates. Heard that it is pretty tough. It may be, but it sure will help out in the long run! From what Coach Jones always told me, football games are won during the offseason. When you are lifting and running to get in shape for the season. Best of luck Pirates!

High school football games are won during practice. If you practice to win then you will win. One of the greatest high school coaches in Kentucky, Garnis Martin from Bardstown, did not lift a weight with his kids during season and also only lifted the ones who did not play basketball and baseball during the off season. Just because you are strong does not mean you can play football. There is a lot more to the game than pushing weights. I can assure you some of the strongest teams in the state did not make it out of their districts or into the playoffs. Strength helps, but it is not what causes you to win. You still have to play the game and it all starts Monday through Thursday with practice! :thumpsup:
