Picture from Last Night's Game

Here is a picture from last night's game as we run a screen play.  #55 is a 3 year starter for us, that is the player who is blocking.  He has played both guard, tackle and also defensive tackle.  Gotta love a picture where the big man is driving through a guy.

Timpview Beats Highland of Idaho

Well tonight we played a very good Highland team.  They are one of the top programs in Idaho and all I have to say is wow.  We played nearly a flawless first half.  Did have one fumble on a punt but our offense didn't punt all night with the first team.  We won 45-12 and sent a message that we will be a tough team to beat and that a 5th straight title is a real possibility.

Enjoy tonight next week is Alta and they will be tough again.  This is going to be a fun season.

Timpview 2-0 on the season so far.

Timpview vs Highland of Pocatello Idaho

This week we play Highland High School from Pocatello Idaho. It is the former high school of Merrill Hoge current ESPN analyst. This is a school that is usually a very good team. They just seem to constantly rebuild and are coached very well.

Last year we beat them by 7 and it was also the game where we lost Bronson Kaufusi for the season. It will be an interesting game as it it our second game and this is their first game of the year. They run the spread as well and do a very good job with combo routes to get someone open.

Their QB from last year does return so having a senior QB always helps, especially a 2 year starter. So it will be a good game. I think the advantage does come to us in the sense that we return more starters and players that got a lot of playing time last year. Plus they do have to make a trip down to us, they have been to Utah lots but never as far south as we are location. Anyway this should be a good game, you will know the result by tomorrow night.

Wild Finish to Cottonwood Vs Alta

A month ago I wrote about the passing of a coach while on vacation.  Last night his team played one of the top teams in the state Alta High School.  The game was back in forth in the 1st half but leading 21-14 with less than 3 minutes left in the game Alta lined up to kick a field goal that would all but put the game out of reach.

What ensued the following 3 minutes is what makes High School football so awesome.  The Cottonwood kids dedicated this season to Teko, makes you almost wonder if he wasn't watching out for them from above.

First Game Down Timpview Beats Pleasant Grove

Well it was a good game, we made some mistakes and had way way too many penalties.  However we played really well can correct those things and came away the winners 24 to 7.  Christian Covey played well as QB and Zac Hayward had many great catches for the team.  We didn't have a ton of big plays but we were methodical and were able to drive the ball on many long drives.

Defense was up to the task and played well though there was a lapse for one drive.  All in all it is a good night and we are in good shape for the rest of the season.  Always helps to win the first game of the season it sets the tone.

Hall of Fame Induction Speeches

Yesterday the class of 2010 joined their brothers in entering the NFL Hall of Fame.  The 2 big names for the ceremony was the NFL's leading rusher Emmitt Smith and Greatest Receiver Jerry Rice.  One of the most important themes that I heard yesterday while listening to the men speak was their loyalty to their teammates.  Their love of the game and how they enjoyed the time they played.

In one of the most touching moments last night Emmitt Smith broke down and thanked the man that led him through so many holes in the run game Daryl "Moose" Johnston



I think it is important to remember that these men will create bonds with those that they play with for the rest of their lives.  Same as the bond that you receive as a coach with the players that you teach.  For you kids out there still playing enjoy your time as it can end fast.

Hall of Fame Game Tonight

Well the NFL Pre Season is here.  It will be interesting to see how long the starters are in for the game.  I wonder if Cincinnati tries to get the ball to Owens for him to stick it to the Cowboys.

This is always the time of year where you get to see players get their chance to make an impression so that they can make the roster.  I wonder which players will start to stand out and be future pro bowlers that others haven't ever heard of when they were drafted.

It's here football season is starting excellent!!!

Crazy Trick Play Run By Steve Spurrier

I think this is the first and only time I have ever seen this trick play from the 1993 Sugar Bowl vs West Virginia.  I don't know if I would ever run this play but it is basically the star burst kickoff return during a play.

What I Am Learning About Play Calling

So this coming season I am looking to try and take a more active role and start calling the offensive plays for the Sophomore Team.  As we have been doing the workouts I have started to learn a very important point while calling offensive plays.

That is the importance of setting up your plays by running other plays.  Coach Bateman has helped by pointing out the need to set up other plays to start running them and then coming back and running a play that compliments it to allow for success.  If you are looking to be a successful offensive coordinator you need to recognize how you set up your offense.  Looking forward to this season, I am extremely excited to see what happens this year.
