Coach Fipps Joins the Crew.

As promised, here is one of those new faces.


Coach Corey Fipps joined the Eagle staff this past spring where he has taken over the Offensive Coordinator duties. Corey is a high energy coach that the players have already grown to love. Corey is from Maxwell, California and were he was a four year Letterman in football and basketball. He played three seasons at offensive tackle for Harding University. Corey graduated from Harding University in 2004 with a Bachelor of Arts in Kinesiology. He quickly followed that up with a Masters of Science in Kinesiology in 2008.

Corey has been in coaching since 2004. His most recent work was as the offensive line coach for Harding University for the 2007 and 2008 seasons.

He met his wonderful wife, Jennifer at Harding University. They just recently have become proud parents for the first time with the arrival of a beautiful baby girl named, Kensley Anleen.

I have had the pleasure of working with Corey for only 6 months and I have been impressed with his knowledge of the game and his genuine love for the young men he coaches. We are expecting great things from Corey and we are proud to have him as a part of the Faulkner family.

It's Time To Get Ready!

It's hot and muggy outside, so that must mean fall camp is close. You better believe it is. It's that time of year again for Faulkner football to start flying high. August 1st all players report to camp, with the first practice under new head Coach Gregg Baker starting on the 2nd. This is going to be fun. We've climbed some serious hurdles this past year, and we are ready for a new beginning. We had our best spring ever and we are looking to build on that. The players, coaches, and fans are ready for the best year in Faulkner Football history.

Things are a little different now as we bring in a few new coaches and a lot of great young athletes. In the coming days, weeks, and month we will be introducing you to the new Eagle family. Don't think I'm leaving out our returning players, but when you see how hard they have been working this summer, you'll think they are an all new team. I'm already working on a few stories that I will be posting on a regular basis not to mention some new changes to the program.

So stay tuned.
