Big Win

We had a big win against the Haltom Buffalos' last Friday evening. They had picked us as there homecoming game and were hoping and planning for a victory for their alumni to enjoy. The Indians had other plans.

After a slow first 2 series on Defense and on Offense, the Indians struck back and were finally in the lead going into half time. We have a very young team, especially on Defense and the adjustment to the speed of the game is something that our guys are working on improving at every week. With strong offensive and defensive pressure in the 3rd and 4th quarters the Indians were able to pull away and finish the final preseason game with a 42 to 25 victory. Seth Wicks was once again flawless with a perfect 6 for 6 in the PAT department. 6 caused fumbles and 4 fumble recoveries on the defensive side proved to be a factor in slowing down the Haltom Offense.

We are busily preparing for the upcoming district opener against Trinity. They are a strong and dangerous opponent and we will be doing our best to prepare your sons for battle this week. Tell everyone you can to come enjoy our first district game this Friday night at the Keller High School stadium as we take on the Trinity Trojans. Your support is needed and always appreciated.

The Little Things.

We are preaching to your sons that the little things matter. The teams, schools, companies, businesses and families that take care of the little things have a greater measure of success. We want our football program and players to focus on the little things, and to do them the right way every time.

In reviewing the film from last weeks game against Martin, I began to notice that when we took care of the little things we had success, but when just one of the players on the field forgot to do so, then we struggled. This cannot happen in our football program for us to reach the goals that we have placed before us.

On the other hand, last week we had 100% of our varsity team turn in their grade check sheets. We have the players of all levels give their teachers a grade sheet so we can monitor their grades every week. When 100% of the varsity team takes care of this, then we have proof that they are learning about the priority of doing the little things right.

Grade check sheets will most likely not help us win a game, but the principal of doing what you are asked to do and doing it correctly could help us win. This is the point that I want your sons to learn. This understanding of doing the little things right is what will help them be a great college student, faithful husband and caring dads. Doing the little things right is not always easy but it is what we should be doing, and if it does not help us win a game now, I want it to help your sons when the stakes are higher than a high school game.

Week 3

For those of you that came and support us in the rain, both Friday night and Saturday afternoon we are thankful for your faithful support of the Indians. The weekend did not produce the results that we planned, practiced and worked for and we are not satisfied with the results.

We did however find many positives in the game from Saturday and we are building on those for this next week and for the rest of this season. We taught from film this morning, and although there were many mistakes to correct we make every effort to build up your sons as we correct their mistakes. The positive from this adversity is that we will learn and grow from our mistakes and be a better team in this week of practice.

We are excited about our upcoming game with Haltom, and we are preparing to bring home a victory this Friday. Pictures from this past weekends games will be posted later today and I encourage you to visit the Keller Pix website and enjoy all the great photos from all of our games.

Have a great day and stay dry.

Rain, Rain, Go Away..........

We got rained out, as I am sure you all know. The plan right now is to kick off at Arlington Martin at 12 noon, and execute the same game plan that we were going to this evening. The boys adjusted well the delay and the coaching staff found a place out of the rain and off the bus where they could rest while we waited for the lightening to stop, which it never did. I hope you can all be at the game tomorrow. It will be well worth your time.

I am grateful for the adjustment that the Varsity Moms made and I am sure the morning will be just great. Thank you again for your support and we will see you at noon.

Back to Work

We are busily preparing for the upcoming game with Arlington Martin this Friday night. I truly believe that this game will be a rock fight. They were not fully ready for us last year, and we took advantage of that and gained a victory. This year they will be expecting more from us and respecting the Keller Indians more. The staff had a great day of work today and we are excited for practice with the Varsity on Monday morning.

I hope you are as excited as we are about the season that the Indians are preparing to enjoy. We are a focused and driven team and coaching staff, and we are working hard to prepare your sons to do great things both on and off the football field. As always are practices are open to all parents and we encourage you to come watch your son at practice.

I hope the weekend has been restful and that you have enjoyed some quality time with your family. I want to thank you as often as possible for the sacrifice that you as parents make for our football team. We are grateful for all of your support.
