Challengers on Offense!

Last Friday afternoon the 5th and 6th grade team of LCA took the field for the first time with an opponent. They played a one hour scrimmage against the Crusaders of Carencro Catholic School. Jay Sterling is playing 1st team offensive center and He played Middle Linebacker on Defense as well. You would have never known that this was for many of these boys their first game. They played extremely well. The first time the offense had the ball, you could see both fear and excitement in their eyes. It was priceless. They were so excited to go against another opponent other than themselves. They had a great game and outscored the Crusaders 26-o. We ran all over the field and even intercepted a pass and ran it back for a touchdown. They were so fired up after the game. Coach Barry Baldwin is doing an excellent job teaching and training these young men to know the rules and technique of the game. Sterling has been getting up 15 minutes early each morning to run sprints before his morning shower. Now that's commitment! Coach tells them to drink water and not cokes during the week, they do it! He tells them to run, They do it on their own. I think if I want to have my son do something, I will just have Coach Barry tell it to him. Seams to be working! Thanks Coach Barry, this will be a memorable year for both players and parents!
