The Faulkner Eagle 2008 season is officially underway. The team met for the first time this year on Sunday night and Monday afternoon the Eagles went to work. The temperatures are hot, but the enthusiasm is even hotter.
Camp opened with a greater number then expected for the second year in a row. Coach Nichols was excited about the caliber of athlete that came in this year. "It looks like all of our work in recruiting has paid off" Nichols stated. I, for one, can tell you that hours upon hours went into recruiting athletes that are great on and off the field this year. Nichols plan was by year three, we would have the team that Faulkner University expects and I believe we are ahead of schedule on that plan.
The first two weeks are focusing on evaluating talent and installing both the offense and the defense. The players schedules are jammed pack from sun up to sun down for the first two weeks. Lots of conditioning and learning going on right now. The players are getting along great and the action should heat up with the addition of full pads on Friday.
Summer camp is packed full of stuff, so I'll try to update all of you as often as I can. Please go by our Faulkner University athletics website and buy your season tickets today. Also, look into joining the Royal Club. Talk to you all soon.
GO EAGLES!
