Ok...so when have you ever read a blog about a middle school football game? hmmm...probably NEVER...but....here is one for ya so you can check it off your list....
today, the Upson-Lee Middle School football team will be at home playing Grey's Station Middle school at Matthew's field in thomaston. it's the first round of the playoffs. should be a pretty good game. ULMS takes a 5-1 record into the game and Grey's takes a 4-2 record into the game.
why so interested? cause i'm the defensive coordinator for ULMS! we have a pretty stout defense this year. probably one of the biggest defenses we've had in years. i have three guys on my line who way at least 250 lbs each!!! 2 8th graders and 1 is in 9th!!! i have a good linebacker core who are very knowledgeable about the game of football and will step up and smack you in a heartbeat!!! we are very aggressive and like to call oursevelves 'head hunters'.
our offense is pretty decent. we have no speed but all the boy's play hard. we have some 'bruising' RB's who are like freight trains when we get the ball. Coach puckett does a nice job of calling plays and keeping the opposing defense off-balance.
my prediction for today is that we win 21-14. i'm not sure what the Vegas odds-makers have set the spread at....but i feel like we are going to win. we need to come out and play hard.
i have a lot of fun coaching at ULMS. i've been with our head coach, Wayne Puckett for about 7 years now. we have won 4 championships during that time. i mainly coach because i like working with that age group in football. i have a good time with all the coaches and we get along great. the game of football is awesome because of the whole 'chess match' mentality you have to have as a coach and being able to knock the crap out of someone as a player is a neat idea too...ha, ha...
check back with me tomorrow and i'll tell you how bad we 'whooped 'em!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
