Once again, I respectfully disagree. It's not concentrated football workouts including running plays rather than conditioning. The conditioning is good, but it's still not as good as honing in on a football environment. That's the opinion of a few head and assistant coaches...not just mine.

Football coaches always want more practice time...they want all the extra summer work plus 2-a-days, plus whatever else they can get...thats just their nature...what I'm saying is its not needed now because of the changes to the calendar and the development of a year-round nature of the game. And remember they do get time to run plays in the summer now with the sport specific time

If I was Coach Willis, I'd tell this guy to pound sand, screen shot all these DA posts from this site, and tell him to take it up with the UIL. 

screen shots live forever...people talk too much these days lol

We were also outside and acclimated to the heat a lot more as kids and more active outside of school.   Not so much now.

I think kids back then just did stuff on their own or worked....kids these days are out in the heat a lot, its just in more organized settings, summer workouts, 7on7, private 1v1 training etc....its different but most HS Football players are on campus 3-4 hours a day much of the summer, lifting, running, doing sport specific work etc...that more than adds up for the time "lost" not doing two-a-days

They need to start doing them like they used to be.  What they do now is not the same.  Yeah I'm the old guy griping about the way things are now. 

 

I really dont think its needed now....the kids come in already in great shape because of summer SAC, yes back in the day they did two-a-days, but also kids didnt show up to the school in June-July...now kids are there 4 days a week most of June and for about half of July (there is a mandatory off-week during July 4th week and a lot of coaches are gone during coaching school)

I've never considered Liberty Hill a defensive juggernaut.....they've been successful because their offense has been borderline unstoppable for a good part of the past 15-20 years

No way Melissa should be higher than SOC

SOC lost a lot especially on defense...Melissa brings back a lot (9 and 6) they are growing like crazy so they have depth and a couple of out of state move-ins that will contribute and they went toe to toe with SOC in a very physical game in the 4th round last year..it was 16-16 going into the 4th Qtr....SOC scored to take a seven point lead..Melissa drove down got in the red zone and turned it over on downs and then SOC put the dagger in with a minute left....its not far feteched at all to have Melissa over SOC IMO

Maybe if they're playing down to the 6 man level they would struggle against some powerhouse programs. But not for long. This is a perfect example of how 7 kids does not make an entire team. And I believe it shows the talent level of the individual players may not always be the best. They're success during the season is more that they are coached up by an amazing staff assembled by an already legendary HC. Carthage always has a great game plan and executes.

Carthage is very hit and miss in 7on7.....its something with them I don't take a ton of stock in

Tough situation with the internet out there...not sure if we hadn't moved fields we'd even be able to broadcast...it was a disaster..no one's phones worked it took forever for tweets to go out etc...lol it was like 1995 all over again

I spoke with Coach Hendrix today and he indeed has not yet started

She's good on social media but is going to have trouble answering to college personnel directors about a football player's lateral quickness or about a guard's mid-range game. She's really going to be a plus for girls' sports recruiting due to her high activity level on social media though. She's also going to be our head girls track coach which may be concerning to some considering she couldn't really win anything even with all the thoroughbreds North Shore has roaming the campus. This hire was also directed by the supt. 

Coach Willis wanted Coach Cameron, he's had a DPP/football ops type person at his last two stops, he has a defined role for the position and he values it

Just an FYI on the broadcast, yes its free but we may or may not get rosters and the camera angle isnt going to be the best....lol hope no one gets mad 

Division I

Division II

Division III

There is no doubt yall do a great job and put time and effort into yalls product. Just next time do a little research before assuming it was my mistake and not yalls. 

That's fair you were correct. the graphic that was over a year old shouldn't have been reposted

I was wondering why you tried to come to the rescue for dctf when that playoff streak graphic was wrong. I get it now lol. It's ok, don't take it personal. 

I do work for DCTF part-time so yes I do take it personal, we take pride in our work and expect to be the best. Thats the standard Mr. Campbell set on a kitchen table in Waco and that's the standard we try to uphold every day. 

Was the graphic being reposted incorrect? Absolutely...an intern screwed up and posted an old graphic that was over a year old...it was handled internally, we coached the intern and we appreciate you for bringing it to our attention! 

Magazine cover will be revealed on Monday June 5 at noon on Texas Football Today
