Last Saturday's scrimmage.

Last Saturday we took our show on the road and had a scrimmage at Jefferson Davis High School. We got about 90 plays in before darkness shut us down. We saw a lot of great things and we saw some more things we need to work



Coach Nichols was pleased with what he saw. Right now we have about 98% of our offense installed and now it's all about repetition. We had about 120 folks come out to watch and they were please with what they saw as well. I can't tell you how much further ahead we are compared to last year at this time.


Frank Padulla had a big day with several diving grabs and a touchdown. We are expecting big things from the Panama City native. The other receivers are having a great fall as well.


With this new offense, the ball is flying around the field like never before. However, we find ourselves in a "catch 22". Now that are running game is hitting on all cylinders, we are finding it hard to pick plays. Don't get me wrong, that's a great a problem to have. Not to mention we never had that problem last season.


Ryan Williams continues to impress the coaches as well as frustrate the defense with his slash and cut running style. He is a man of few words but his running says it all. Don't get me wrong on my blog, I talk a lot of offense, simply because I coach running backs. But our defense is looking strong once again.


We have another scrimmage this Saturday at the Cramton Bowl. Stay tuned for more.

GO EAGLES!

Coach Nichols will be the next head coach at either Jack State, West Alabama, North Alabama or even Samford. He is one of the youngest head coaches in the US. Div 1 by the time he is 42. Keep up the good work coach.
