- Our offense is already playing like a well oiled machine!!!
- Rushing for 5 TD’s in this game and even 1 TD from a pass (unbelievable!!!!!)
- Our defense also played fantastic in this game
- Stopping our opponent's offense for little or no gain throughout the entire game
(Fantastic job to everybody)
Game Result:
Eagles: 37
Vikings: 0
Team Highlights:
We had 6 different players make scoring plays in this game (Unbelievable!!!!!)
- We are already more than half way to our goal of all 10 players scoring in a game (After the very 1st game - Outstanding!!!!)
- We'll keep setting up opportunities for every player on the team to experience the thrill of scoring points for the team
What went well:
Running plays:
Our running plays were terrific in this 1st game.
- We had quick & clean exchanges between the CTR x QB x RB (with no dropped ball's - which is really an accomplishment for the 1st game of the season )
- Our RB’s were quick to take the hand-off & turn up the field.
- Also, our RB's made great cuts to get by the defense, creating some exciting down field runs.
(Great job QB’s & RB’s)
Passing plays:
We only threw a couple of times in this 1st game, but we are already showing some real potential!
- The WR's ran the correct routes and found open positions on the field (giving the QB's targets to throw to)
- And the QB's made good decisions to make "safe passes" to the open WR's (one of which went for a score)
(Great job QB’s & WR’s)
Run & Pass Defense:
Our defense was solid in this 1st game.
- The kids were moving together as a unit, "boxing" in the ball carriers
- Also, they did a great job supporting each other in their field coverage areas
(Great job defense – both squads)
Team Work
Lastly, it was exciting to see how well the kids functioned as a team (even in this very 1st game)
- Working together and helping direct each other on the field
- And keeping together on the sidelines and cheering for their teammates on the field
(Great teamwork – both squads)
What we can work on:
Usually during a game, we notice items we can improve on, or a missed opportunity.
- But based on how well we played for this 1st game - we didn't see anything needing improvement
(Fantastic job to everybody – the Eagles are 1-0!!!)
