Seeing all this rain reminds me of a High School game I coached in my younger years in PA. I spent all week to prepare a special defense to shut down the opponent's monster run game, the 6-2 stack monster. It was a very rainy night, we shut down their run game, and after my corner made an honest mistake and went for the man and not the ball, drawing a pi penalty we got a goalie stop and got the ball back for the one up by 3-4 points. Well our ballcarrier holding onto a wet ball lost the ball and the other school fell on it for a touchdown.
Now upon retirement from high school, college and the NFL, some even consider me to have considered acting, I consider myself in a position as coaches mentor and passing on my wisdom to the next generation of coaches.
Make sure you go over ball security with your skill guys tonight, make sure they double skin the ball at all times. If you are in the same situation you may consider taking a safety as I so often heard about from local experts after that critical loss, and thought about while I was picking up trash out of my yard.
Hoping every COACH has kids play with ALL THE RIGHT MOVES tonight. Maybe someday you will have a documentary within your program. Any case, do it TOGETHER.
