Absolutely. I'd much rather have that indoor facility than turf.

It's been about 3 years ago, West Washington was talking about going turf. One of the WW school board members taught next to me and he told me their cost analysis showed it was basically a wash financially. The upkeep of the grass field over the expected life of the turf was the same as installing the turf.

Like anything, it's not just a single issue. Support from the school has always been lackaing. The school has never made an investment at all in the program. The football program is expected to be 100% self sufficient meaning if they needed equipment, it comes from fundraising or donations. If you want Hudl, fundraising. New jerseys, fundraising. Helmets refurbished, fundraising. The school hasn't really hire any assistant coaches to be in the building but from what I hear, that's getting better. The current AD will do whatever he can to make sure things are done correctly but they wasted a lot of years. I also feel like if you want to have a successful football program, you have to have support from the community, which historically is lacking. You have some great parents that are involved and they are at everything and their child never misses a workout, but for every one of those, you have 8 that are the opposite. The overall mentality of the county seems to be, "How can I get by and do the absolute minimum?" which doesn't turn kids into quality football players. I know an army recruiter that makes his rounds at area high schools has said it's hard to get those kids to sign up for the military because the mentality of hard work just isn't there in the majority and if it is, those are the ones that head off to college. I mentioned assistants earlier, and there has always been a lack of help in the area because the pool of people willing to help are small, or they want to help and work construction and don't get off work until well after practice time. And if you can't find quality assistants for high school, jr. high and youth are a challenge too. Keep in mind, these are generalizations. There are some kids that work super hard and are very talented. Some parents are super supportive and are willing to help out in whatever way they can. Coach Bell deserves a lot of credit. He probably has the hardest coaching job in the state. He and his staff are giving those kids an opportunity to play football when they otherwise wouldn't get to. Hopefully things get better for them soon.

Yes, I believe everything has been addressed. Thank you.

Does Owen Valley have any openings?

I really tried to download the video so I could share it but after I made my playlist, I never had an option to download. It doesn't really matter at this point. I really hope someone talks to that crew before Friday though because I don't think they are doing anything intentionally incorrect. They just don't know they are doing it wrong every single time.

I'll try and post video in the morning.

I knew the behind or on the previous spot rule for this year. These all occurred past the line of scrimmage. One time 30 yards past the line of scrimmage.

Currently watching a game. Not going to say where. They have assessed every single penalty from the previous line of scrimmage. Not from the spot of the foul, on fouls that have typically been called spot fouls in the past. Has something changed that I'm not aware of.

A buddy of mind coaches at Oakridge in the Orlando area. I asked him when the heat index gets up to 114 (which is rare there as well), what do they do. He said they go inside.
