Haskell Youth Football 5th & 6th Grade

09/09/2024

Haskell had a tough first game of the season losing the Home opener to Vian. Defense was strong, but offense struggled to move the ball.

Went to Checotah last week and won. Defense stayed strong allowing 0 points. Offense found their grove and started moving the ball down field. Winning 6-0.

Here are the point standings after week 2.

Reminder Equipment turn in tonight at 6pm.

10/30/2023

Equipment turn in will be Thursday November 2nd @ 6pm.

I will be getting phone numbers from parents that have players in the 4th grade that will be moving up next year. We will be going to several different camps over the summer break. I highly recommend that everybody tries to make these camps as our goal is to return to the playoffs next season.

I have started booklets for these players with introduction to the team. It will give them an idea of what to expect next year. Along with what to expect from the coaches, what is expected of the players, and what is expected from the parents. We will all be on the same page from start to finish. These booklets will be handed out to those who show up for camps, and then during sign ups.

If you know anyone that has kids that are going to play for 5th & 6th grade next year add them to the page to get updates or ask questions. I can also add them to the 2024 5th & 6th grade Football team.

Thank you,
Coach Ed

Mixed set of emotions today, anger, sadness, but yet happiness.
Anger, in the way that we were 100% not prepared for the rain and weather. We are not a power football team and haven’t been. We have been a balanced team with the ability to run the ball outside the tackles, and pass the ball. Today with the nasty weather it makes it very hard to throw the ball. We tried to during warm-ups, but with no grip it is hard to do. Knew we would have issues snapping the ball and had to change that as well. In the second half we went to a jumbo set and saw some life out of it. These boys never ran those plays but making success out of them was good to see, but in the end it was not enough.
Sadness is that it is over for us. We have worked so hard to win and make the playoffs. I feel that every practice we get stronger and better. It is also sad to be losing such great players that I know I will miss dearly. When you coach kids like these you get so close to them and they feel like your own. I wish them well next year as they move to Middle School. I know that all of them are players and I expect to see them as leaders on the field.
Happiness is that we did so well against all odds against us. We took a team that was 1-7 last year and taught them to play to the best of their abilities. 5-3 is a big step up and these 5th graders that will be moving up next year will already know what we expect out of them. The bar will be set higher next year.
I am Proud of all these boys, as they make the passion I have for football continue to come out of me every day. 6th graders, good luck on your journey next year. I wish you all the best, and I am sure I will see you around Haskell. 5th graders you better be ready as next year we are going to do way more. We are going to start earlier than we have before. We will have camps, and sign ups will be early next year. I would say before school is let out.
Parents thank you for all you do as well. I know the long practices, and late nights take a toll sometimes. But those are the things we do for our kids to make them better.
If you need anything let me know I always have my phone on me.
Until next season,
Coach Ed
