The Annual Athletes U Branson Team Camp is in the Books for the year. And needless to say, It was a hot one. As could be expected, I pretty much followed Reeds Spring, but did get a few glimpses of some of the other teams… A few thoughts…
- Saw a lot of good… and saw some things that will need to be worked on.
- Thought the Wolves offensive sync got better as the day went along.
- The Wolves backfield can flat out motor
- Keenan Haynes could be in for a HUGE year from his new fullback spot.
- Offensive line has the ability to be very good… they just have to do it consistently.
- Both QBs showed glimpses as well. For them its a matter of getting more reps…. The more snaps they get then more comfortable they will get.
- Defense showed some glimpses as well.
- When they get properly aligned, follow assignment and fly to the ball they can be very good. And, I think we will see that more than not.
Got to see just a little bit of Branson. Still looks good in the pocket. Throws a nice ball. And has receivers that can go get it…
It was good to see Forsyth there competing on the JV level. The Panthers seemed to have a little success. Look forward to eventually seeing them on Friday Nights…
The Hollister Tigers were taking part in a camp up at Evangel U in Springfield.
The team that probably impressed me the most was Lutheran North. They were big and very fast. They are as athletic team as you will see on most any high school level. They are going to be a handful this year. Blair Oaks will be another team to watch.
Overall a very good camp despite the heat. Teams will now go through a “dead week” where they cant have contact with coaches. Then its right to August drills. Jamborees are the 12th and we tee it up for real on Aug 19th…. Folks get ready,, Football season is almost here.
