ABD Jr Blue @ TCU Bulldogs, Week 8

Sorry for they delay but the Coach has been very busy. Unforinitally I have no pictures of the best game I seen the 4 years I've been coaching at ABD. The game was so exciting the camera person couldn't tear herself away from the action long enough to get new batteries. The boys showed they are determined to win. The winner of this game would win our Division & if we won it would keep us undefeated for the regular season & a chance for the top seed in our Conference for the playoffs. We went down quickly & the boys got a little discouraged. At halftime we were behind 14-0. Then they decided we're not out yet. The Defense stopped them & we started scoring. With about 2 min. left we tied it up, got the onside kick & started driving again. Inside the muddy 15 the ball was stripped on a play that should of been blown dead for forward progress. TCU was streaking to a win when DeJuan caught the TCU player near the 10yd line. The D held & off to overtime. We swapped scores in the 1st OT then we scored quick in the 2nd. We pulled the boys to the side had our talk then proceeded to push them backwards to get a very hard fought 30-22 double OT win. I would like to thank all my co-coaches for keeping cool & keeping the boys focused, the boys for never quiting & showing such great charter, & the parents for cheering your kids on the whole way through.
UNDEFEATED regular season. It's playoff time.

Mansfield Bengals @ ABD Jr Blue, Week 4

This week we played our home game at UTA's Maverick Stadium. With all the other teams out scouting us we decided to go plain vanilla & not give much away. With the last second schedule change giving us the Mansfield Bengals we didn't know much about them. We under estimated them & they gave us a tough day. With all the blow-outs we've been having I was proud to see the boys didn't shut down & quit when the going got a little tough. At half time the coaches talked to the guys & we went down & scored 6. With time running down the Offense got a big 1st down at the 1 yard line to allow us to just let the clock run out. The Defense again held our opponent to ZERO, good job guys. I was proud the boys dug deep & proved they are true winners by never giving up. We've got a BYE 10/6 then Conference play starts @ the Mansfield Timberwolves 10/13.

Mansfield Tigers @ ABD Jr Blue, Week 3

The old ball coach was really proud this week. We had a lot of fun doing some new stuff, 56-0. Not only did we win big, the boys executed GREAT. I've never seen the blocking as good as this past Saturday. Not only did the linemen block but the receivers & running backs provided key blocks to allow others to break free. My big hit of the week goes to Seymour Battle for a hit he put on one of the Mansfield players that lifted the boy off the ground. If I'm counting correctly we had 7-8 different players score this week. I had a special treat this weekend. Since we were so far ahead we gave a few others a chance to run the ball. My son Brik was pulled from his lineman position in the game so coach Phil could quickly teach him to play fullback. He got 1 hard yard but as a parent it was fun to give him the chance to do that once. Another one of my biggins, AJ Roshell, stripped the ball & rumbled for a +40yard touchdown. If I was giving out game balls I would need to give one to all 15 boys at the game. Next up Mansfield Timberwolves @ ABD (Mavrick Stadiun, UTA) at 4:00pm.

ABD Jr Blue @ Riverside Eagles, Week 2

Despite the heat and only 13 players this week, our boy’s could not have looked better. We had a great game and the team really stepped up. Right from the first snap of the game the line picked up the attempted blitz & the running backs were off & running. There were so many great efforts but one hit stands out in my head. Riverside tried to run straight up the middle Brik got the runner low & X-man laid the boom on the guy. All of the coaches are very proud of every player and are looking forward to having everyone healthy and ready to play this week. Next up Mansfield Tigers @ ABD, (Ferguson JH) at 2:00pm.

ABD Jr Blue @ Crowley Hawks Purple, Week 1

Well the season is off & running. A lot of preseason prep work has been going on & we've finely gotten to play our first game. We went out to Crowley to meet the Hawks who have joined North Texas this year. The boys in blue made me proud. Week 1 after our defence held the Hawks to 4 & out with minus yardage they went straight down the field & scored. We looked a little slow walking to & from the huddle but all said week 1 looked great. I was so excited about the boys hard effort in our 18-0 win I forgot to take up the uniforms after the game. I guess it's week one for the coaches also. Next up @ Riverside Eagles 1pm 9/15.

2007 Camp LT

CAMP LT

We've had a busy week. Camp LT was this week @ TCU. The Blue Devils had 6 boys attend & NTYFA had around 50 current & former players at the camp. I had a special treat getting to work at the camp as a coach along the side of numerous Pro, College, High School, & Middle school coaches. Of the 6 boys from Arlington in attendance 3 won awards. Both Curtis Hollis & Nick Slater won a daily coaches award. Brik Hogue won an award presented by LaDainian Tomlinson, NFL's 2006 MVP, for Most Improved at the camp. I'm very proud of all the North Texas boys.

2007 NTYFA, TCU Football Camp

The marking of the beginning of football is the North Texas Football Camp @ TCU. Even though the weather was rainy the turn out was great. June 2nd. Thanks to all the North Texas Coaches & an extra special thanks to the TCU players who helped with the camp.
