Helping High School Football

I recently started helping with our local high school football team. I will try to keep this short...RIGHT ! Anyway....so I am a graduate of Jena in 2005. I played football all four years of high school. I have always felt like I should give back what I learned in my four years. So, recently our school got a new head football coach. He was a coach previously when I was there, but he had moved off to start a new program elsewhere. So when I went by to welcome him back and catch up on how his family was I made the comment, "If you need any help this season give me a call." Well, right then I didn't realize what I had just said. So anyway, YES...they needed a little more help than what I was thinking at the time. They needed some volunteer coaches. Well, I don't know if I would call myself a coach....but I do get a team shirt. I have been helping for the last two (2) weeks and didn't realize how much I miss being out there on that ol'practice field. So anyway, that just put my schedule in OVERDRIVE and booked up most of my evenings and every Friday night. I can't wait till our first scrimmage next Friday Night in Vidalia.....Come and watch, should be pretty interesting ! For now this is Blake Phillips signing off !!!!!!!
