Scrimmage #2 ends, Close of Fall Camp

Amazing how fast it goes!  It was just the 4th of July, now we play Valley City this Saturday.  Time goes so quickly.  Great lesson to be learned by our guys, never take a day for granted, you blink and you may miss life.  

I believe our guys took advantage of the last two weeks and improved not only as football players but as young men.  Camp does present a bunch of situations that they can learn from and help their growth into future leaders.

Scrimmage yesterday saw some success by both our offense and defense; the 2 minute drill to end the day showed our offenses ability to drive the field (great Fry to Small toss and catch for 6 points).  Defense made their share of plays, our team speed on defense is impressive, I believe that we are faster then we were last year.

Special Teams will be important for us this fall, I hope that they will be able to contribute to each win this season and never be the cause for us to be behind in a game.  Jimmie Mattson has earned the starting job as a kicker and Pat Haynes as our punter.  Both have improved the last two weeks and their consistency is getting more impressive.

Look forward to seeing everyone at Alex Nemzek this coming Saturday as we face Valley City State, kickoff is at 1:00pm.  You can catch us on AM 1660 from the local FM area or on the Internet through www.northernsun.org.

Go Dragons!!!
