The last practice before the Waterbury Patriots.  Its been a tough 2 days we've worked hard, but in the long run it will pay off!  I have posted some favorites on my youtube.com page check them out, especially the profile of Orlando Pace probably one on the best offensive linemen EVER!

Waterbury is fast and do a lot of fakes to open up the field.  I know we have weaknesses, but I also know we can overcome them and be Champions.
Know your assignment, know the count and execute and we will win!

Tonight we worked on Improving our weaknesses and understanding our responsibilities on the field. Unlike any other sport football is a total team sport. every one has a job during the play from the snap of the ball to the referees whistle. If one person dosent understand their responsibilities it could effect the outcome of a game. This is what we try as coaches to impart to you the players. If we get loud, we do it to to stress the importance of discipline and preparedness.
Coach Rado made an important point, if you are not prepared or disciplined there is a good chance you could get hurt! That would be the last thing myself or any of our Coaches want. Once again great job against Shelton and see you tomorrow
Thanks,
Coach McGovern

Tonight We scrimmaged a tough Shelton JPW Team. We knew going into the scrimmage that we had things to work on but by the end of the night all the coaches agreed that we are ahead of schedule compared to last year. The weaknesses will be worked on during practice. and we are going to be a much better team for it. Waterbury is next up for us on 8/25/08. Historically the Waterbury Patriots are always tough and don't forget that both Shelton and Waterbury come from the Southern CT Pop Warner League they are the big dogs, that is why we schedule scrimmages with them. We will not improve if we play weaker teams.
Lastly I hope everyone had fun and as far as the on field indiscretions by Shelton we have to rise above that by being the better man, and in turn being the better team.
I will leave you with a Quote By President Teddy Roosevelt:
"In life, as in a football game, the principle to follow is: Hit the line hard! "
