Cougars Game #1, 1/17/09

With only one practice under their belt the Cougars headed onto the hardwood for game #1 against the Jaguars. Falling behind early 2-14, the Cougars had to work from behind all game. Never quitting they pulled the score to within 4 points during the final period & ended the game with a hard fought loss, 18-24.

Bears Game #2, 1/17/09




I was a little worried at the begining of game #2. We only had 6 players here at the start of the game & I was hoping none of them would decided they didn't want to play. They all started the game OK & the help showed up right after the game started so everyone would get time to rest. David ran the floor just as I expected but this week he had some help from the rest of the crew. We scored 3 goals. Great job BEARS.

Bears game # 1




Well. We ran around. Had a good time. I didn't go crazy. We're off to a good start.

2009 City of Arlington 3 & 4 year old BEARS

Jaxon has gotten tired of watching Brik play everything so we signed him up for soccer. Of course I can't help getting involved coaching my boys so I took a team of 3 & 4 year old boys & girls. This is the youngest group I've had to deal with so I was nervous that they would make me pull my hair out. So far I still have my hair. Two practices & game 1 under our belt I think we will have a lot of fun & maybe even learn a little soccer while we do it.


I would like to introduce the Bears.

Blue Devils @ the Armed Forces Bowl



We went from having about 12 people going to the game to 36 Blue Devil family & friends making the trip to TCU to watch the Air Force Falcons & the Houston Cougars play a very good game. Everybody seemed to have a good time & we hope to do it again next year.

Thanks to Coach Fagan for getting us tickets to the Armed Forces Bowl again this year.


On the car ride home from the game, most of the boys crashed out. Till they got back to my house where they all played the Wii till they got picked up.

Week 1 make-up, Nov 8th

The last game of the season, playing for nothing but pride. The players came out slow the first half. I was very proud to see after a little redirection by the coaching staff everybody came out & shout the Ravens out the second half. Coach Phil & I were happy to see the kids not just quit after they got behind. We learned a lot this year playing tough games every week. Thanks for the hard work.

Week 8, Nov 1st



The fight to stay out of last place in our division fell short. I won’t say much about this one because I was a little disappointed at some of the effort we gave at times & the way we took till almost halftime to start playing ball. It was too little to late.
Welcome back Jacob.
The fans were cheering hard for the players, Thanks we need all your support. I’m sorry to everyone who did their best. This one should have ended up differently. We need to refocus & end on a high note next week.
Keep your heads up. You've done well this year even if the record doesn't look like it.

Week 7, Oct 25th


This one hurts a lot. For the first time since I’ve been coaching football it looks like we won’t be in the playoffs. Some times you’re just on the wrong side of the lucky draw. All season our groups of 10 year old boys & girl have been fighting a tough battle every week. Before the season started we knew we had been put in what was considered the toughest division in of 10-11 year olds. With a team of 18 tens & 1 eleven we’ve been clawing every week in tough fights coming up just short. In other divisions we may have been as high as a 2 seed but it wasn’t in the plan for us. Everybody came out ready to play & Coach Phil & I were very proud of the kids for fighting till the end in a hard overtime loss to the Mansfield Leopards.

Week 6, Oct 18th

This week's goals were to do the best we can &, never quit no matter what happens. WOW! I knew this team was good but I was hoping to slow them a bit. My hats off to the Grand Prairie Seminoles. I would like to say to all my kids, "Thanks for fighting till the end" even though the 'Noles were rolling. We were lacking in age & size but through injuries & a rough night I'm proud to say I'm your coach.

ABD Sr. White's night out.


Coach John, Phil, & I thought it would be fun for the ABD Sr. White players to get out together away from practice. We took them to a High School football game, Bowie vs Lamar. I would like to thank the coaches of Bowie for not only having us as their guests but allowing use to take the players to the sidelines during the game. Thanks to Coach Perry of Bowie High & the Barnett Jr. High coaches for taking time during halftime to talk to the kids. And a special thanks to Coach Kemp of Bowie High for working with me to get the whole thing together.
