Week 3 / First scrimmage

Week 3 of practice has come to an end, with a resounding "victory" in our first scrimage.

Now I know what you are saying, they don't keep score in a practice scrimmage, but the outcome with us scoring multiple times, and recovering several fumbles, and an awesome interception, on top of the defense totally shutting down the Viper offense, and no major injuries, really relates to a win in my book. Congrats to the players and coaches, and thanks to all the parents, friends and family for coming out, what a great turn out for our first scrimmage!!!

On a more sober note; best wishes to CJ Raidy. I hope we hear some great news about his hand injury after the meeting with the hand specialist on Monday. We need you buddy, heal up fast and get back in there!!!

Lunatic Fringe

Must be an omen,

During the off season Coach Thompson coined "Lunatic Fringe" as a battle cry for the new season, and on the day of our first schrimmage what did I hear on the radio???

Oh yeah, we know your out there!!!!

you're Not gonna win!!!

GO MONSOON

week 2

The second week of practice has come and gone, aside from some minor bumps and bruises all the boys seem to have made it through. It seems some of the boys have caught some kind of "bug". Those first week of school blues, but again it does seem that they get over it fairly quickly.
Looking ahead to out first scrimmage this Friday, Go Monsoon!!!

Special thanks

A very special thanks to Fred and Jackie Tafoya, for all the hard work and effort on the 07 season photo disc. It turned out just excellent and I for one will be watching this for years to come!!! Thanks again!!!

Week 1

The first week of practice is over, and now the fun begins!!
Even though we were shuffled around to here and there I think the boys took it in stride, and now we can get down to business at Crossroads for the remainder of the month.

First Practice

Monday's first practice went well, it looked to me like the boys worked hard and did well in the drills and conditioning work. Coach Thompson's speech to the parents was inspirational as usual.
Getting to see all of our Monsoon friends again and catching up was also nice. I, for one was ready to get going again after the off season. Ready for some smash mouth Monsoon football!!!!
