Spring Ball in Full Swing

We have moved into the last week of our non-traditional season and with the ODAC track season complete we will operate at close to full strength over the next four practices. We are proud of the four football players who captured individual championships on our track team last weekend. Damien Ward (High Jump), Leigh Bradley (Triple Jump), Julius Delbridge (200 meters) and Tyler Beiler (100 meters). I reminded our young kids that three of those four are kids who have really bought into the explosive training our strength and conditioning people push, and it is a great example of buying into a process and letting the product take care of itself.

I was able to see our baseball team celebrate a team championship last Sunday too, and I was reminded how fun those can be. I miss them and we will do the pushing of the process so we hopefully will get another generation of players the chance to experience them.

On a down note, Rudy Jackson underwent re-constructive knee surgery about two weeks ago and his status will be uncertain for the 2010 season. He is a good student who is on track to easily graduate in 2011 and at the Division III level potential Red-shirt issues involve some big and sometimes tough choices for athletes and their families.

I will be taking part in one of the live chats tonight with Asst. SID Tim Leister, go to http://www.bridgewatereagles.com/livechat3 if you want to follow at 6:30 pm or ask any questions.

Go Eagles,
Coach Clark
