Well, spring practice started on Thursday and things went great. I don't know who was more excited, the players or the coaches. The overall attitude of the team was very upbeat. I think this was due to the fact that ACA is allowing us to practice on their fields this spring. So, for the first time in Faulkner football history, we didn't have to pile into cars and drive to a practice location off campus. This alone gave all of us a sense of team that we have not experienced since we started the program. ACA deserves a BIG pat on the back for allowing us to use their facilities this spring. I believe this gesture from ACA will do a lot for our season this fall. In a way, we now feel like we play for two schools and want to do both schools proud. Thank you ACA.
The first practice went great. Both offense and defense looked excited and were wide open. A lot of people came out to see the first spring practice. One person even commented on how good we looked for the first practice compared to last spring. The quarterbacks looked good for putting the ball in the air for the first time. Phillip Moore, Blake Franks, and TJ Jacobs all looked good and now the race is on. Coach Nichols, who took the QB's under his wings this year, had the guys ready and well prepared.
Now for the down side of practice. When it rains, it pours. So far this spring this saying holds true. We been rained out of two practices already. The weather looks good for the rest of the week, so we'll strap it up again on Tuesday.
GO EAGLES!
