Cedar Creek Day 4

Cedar Creek Day 3

Today was a physically and mentally intense day for our guys. They began the day by running the hill. 15 times in 15 minutes. They finished it up with 2 laps around it.

Our first practice began at 9:30 am. Our second practice began at 1:30 pm. Our third practice began at 7 pm. Our guys worked hard, extremely hard. It was a difficult day, but it was a great day. They gave it all on the field and had nothing left at the end of the day. We are a stronger, better team because of today.

We will break down film, then conclude our day with The Bonfire.

Cedar Creek Day 2

Today was a great day at Cedar Creek. We focused on team building with a competitive edge.

This was our first day of real hitting during practice. There have been no major injuries during our practices. We are looking forward to a big day of practice tomorrow; we will practice 3 times.

Tonight was the coaches vs. players 7 on 7. Although it was a hard fought battle, the coaches once again took the victory, 28-21.

Cedar Creek Day 1

We ran.
