Ok Coaches! Come by and visit this week at the N.C. Coaches Association clinic in Greensboro. Look forward to seeing you all.

Let’s not forget — if your school doesn’t have an aggressive 7-on-7 schedule, you won't get noticed, right? 🙄 Because we all know balling out in “cough... fake football 🤣” is way more important than grinding through a physical season... all the reasons to pick up & move. 🙄💪
Let’s discuss the transferring in high school to get a scholarship: 1. First they tell you that camps, club ball, travel ball and AAU get you noticed, not what you do on your high school team 2. Then they tell you that you should transfer to another high school to get a scholly
Agreed.
When did it become “go be great” when your teammate abandons the community to transfer to a different school? It used to be “you’re a traitor and now the enemy.”

It’s been a long time since I was chased off a field taking stadium pics for the #CPStadiumProject… But that happened today, had a principal who took exception. In 20 years of taking stadium photos, this is probably only my second crazy experience… I’ll take those odds.
