I agree with the comment about the LINE !!!!!!!!!
None of the backs would have anything if not for the power of the line and lead blocking.... Dont get me wrong,, STATS are not the end all and used for anything more than to be able to run situations in scenerios. Yes to sit down and watch film and set the filmed game to black and white, watching the same play multiple times and watching every effort given on the field from alot of different positions. Most of the times the stats board is kept by an asst coach who has a kid that does not start either way. It is kept out of the hands of coaches because it is too hard to coach, keep track of what plays were ran, results of each play , penaltys and yardage per play,, then to set down with film and watch the same thing over and over.... It is to hard to do all of it together.
But I will say that if not for that board and keeping track of results of each play,,,,results may have been a little differnt..
I know most parents or fans think that this is only 6th grade and stats are for bragging but the learning curve for kids to be able to see results from hard work and teamwork.......is the key!!!!!!!!!
So for most people who only see that these posts are to brag,, think different.... everything learned this year was put to good use on the field.....

play Lewis once and get one result,, watch film and see what worked and not worked,,, play again and see what happens.... totally different result !!!

I give no rewards, no helmet stickers at this age......Play as a team, win or loose as a team.... And yes we as coaches can loose a game by play calling.. I have done it in the past myself.. No one is perfect !!!!!
But all in all these kids have something that no-one can take away from them....5 Bowl Championship in 1 year and not a team better than them in the area.. Oh and they defeated the Best in the OVC and the best in the TSYFL,, which I think has never been done by a local team,,, so that is another first for them.....
So Stats come in handy, if you use them correctly.. Now if I got on here and only told the good things like the score and not the fumbles that some kid had that could have cost us the game,, then I thik that would be a little different.. or not posting on here when we lost to Lewis County the first time............. So win or loose I post the results for the kids on this team... some 5/6th grade team have the love from their community to have their games covered in the paper every week.. Check OUT Harlan County newspaper, that posts the game results and write ups for every team in the area down there, even the younger 3/4th grade teams get paper coverage... So since our paper will not cover these kids and their achievments,,, I feel that it should be out there for people to read if they want to.......

I enjoy reading other game results from teams on here,,,, dont you????????
