This time next week...we go live! Watch out Ardmore!!

The Cougars are coming for ya!  With the last scrimmage out of the way it is time to get ready for the real thing next Friday in Ardmore.  I know our boys and coaches are ready...the question is - is Ardmore ready?

August 20th - First Scrimmage

Friday night was the first chance for the Cougars to let out some of their aggression on somebody other than their own team. Going up against a Duncan team which was generally bigger and faster, the Cougars showed they would not back down. As would be expected in the first scrimmage, the offense never quite found its rhythm, but there were several plays which were on the verge of breaking for big gains. With more time on the practice field, these guys should be a solid ball control offense. On the defensive side, the Cougars ran well to the ball. Duncan had some big backs that were hard to bring down, so more time on the practice field working on wrapping up is probably on the agenda for the Cougar D. But they showed they could control the line of scrimmage while holding Duncan on several plays with negative yardage or no gain. I’m looking forward to next Thursday to see the progress they make.

The Cougars are in action next in a scrimmage against Tecumseh.  The scrimmage is at home on Thursday the 26th and I believe the times are as follows:

9th Grade - 5:00 pm
JV - 6:15 pm
Varsity - 7:00 pm

Road trip anyone?

We are ready!  Heading to Duncan tomorrow for the first scrimmage of the season and the first game that Cameron will participate in as a Ada Cougar.  We realized yesterday that he has been playing contact football for 11 years now!  Wow!  That is a long time!  We are ready to watch the Cougars bring home the win tomorrow!

Figuring things out...Practice with pads

I have been trying to figure out the best way to share all the pictures I get.  I know some of the kids and parents like to have the pics on facebook, but I usually take way too many to post all of them on facebook.  So my plan is to put them on Picasa and let each person download the ones they want and add them to their facebook.  If time permits, I may add some of my favs to an album on FB also.  We will see how this works and will make adjustments as needed.  I also took a few video clips which I added to Flickr.

Another Cougar Media Day in the books...

Today was the first media day Roger and I have ever attended...they didn't do that back in "the day"!  It was interesting and neat to see all the boys lined up and dressed out.  I have decided to post the pictures on my facebook instead of flickr so that the boys can all be tagged.  That may end up being a problem for the games because of the number of pictures I take...but that is a bridge I will cross when I come to it!  For now, here is the link for some of the pictures I got today...Courgar Media Day

One more step to full pads and full contact!

Tonight the team donned their shoulder pads and pushed each other around a little harder.  As usual, I got carried away taking pictures.  The 300+ pictures and video clips...yes video clips ~ are uploading as I type.  I decided to add the link to the only other Ada Football game I have ever taken pictures at for you to enjoy while we wait patiently (NOT) for tonights pictures to upload. (Which will take most of the rest of the night!)  I will post the link for them tomorrow.  And tomorrow will also bring pictures from our first experience with media day!

New blog...Ada Cougar Football

Roger and I decided to create a Cougar Pride blog.  We will post updates from football and basketball games that we attend that will include a link to the pictures I take.  Roger will provide some play by play commentary and we will try to add some pictures that relate to his commentary.    Our first real post will include the pictures I took of the first night of "pre-season" practices.  Hope you all enjoy it!
