RIP to Coach Leach the pirate. Let this be a lesson to coaches. 1. Your health is the most important thing you have. 2. Stop stressing yourself out over other people’s kids. Especially the ungrateful people who talk crazy about you every Friday night. Going home is a blessing.

I think AIA should evolve into bowl games for those who don’t make the playoffs. You can have companies or even local businesses sponsor the bowl games. Games will be played on neutral sites. Lots of good come out this: 1. Coaches and players get an extra game.

This “7v7” culture is so toxic. Pleas do not lump that in as part as the actual “Football” culture. It is not the same.

With all of that said, it should’ve take away from the great game both teams played tonight. I hate the dark cloud that hangs Over our communities. This was an outside incident that was out of our control. DO NOT STEREOTYPE AN ENTIRE COMMUNITY BECAUSE SO SOME STUPID PERSON.

I wanted to talk to Desert Edge co-HC Marcus Carter about his players and visit to #KUfball. We ended up discussing the number of parallels between the KU and DE programs. "We're trying to build these young men into successful men in society.". Read:

My 7v7 guys not going to like this, but these are the 🥶 hard facts. I actually love 7v7 when it’s with HS HC’s. All the foolishness doesn’t happen when they’re present. At least from what I’ve seen. I’ve seen kids Mic’d up talking Brazy. It’s a “disrespectful” show. Now on the.
So is @plies right about 7-on-7 football being a toxic environment created by adults?. @CoachJGrice, Bueller, anyone?.

It’s a shame we have to drive 65 miles (2X a week) round trip to go get some 7’s run against schools. There’s plenty of school in the West Valley that can come together and put on throwing events like they do in the East Valley. I’m ready to start a dialogue….

This debunks the old wise tale “if you’re good enough, they’ll find you.” That’s lazy coach’s talk. It’s not that easy anymore. It takes a TEAM. Coaches, parents, athletes to get the most out of the recruiting process. I said what I said.
I always thought that college coaches would eventually find you. I realized that was a lie in my junior year of high school. When I first started to send DMs to coaches. I got a response from a Yale coach. That's the moment I knew. You have to get coaches to find you.

Both teams fought hard and competed even after adversity hit. That’s a sign of young men that are growing. That was a lesson to be learned and both teams grew from that moment. The only was you lose is if you don’t learn from it. Both teams grew up tonight. That’s more important.

We do this also. If you’re in it for the kids, you’re in it for the kids. No grey area. I want to see every kid win.
Every coach that stops by I have a list of kids from other schools to tell them about. If we play against you & I like your game, I’ll keep your name in my back pocket. Trying to see every kid win.

First time since 2020 Arizona will have three or more participants in the All-American Bowl. Kelee Ringo (Saguaro), Bijan Robinson (Salpointe), Tosh Baker (Pinnacle) and Lathan Ransom (Salpointe) were all invited that year. All four have done pretty well for themselves.

Not me. Sad part is, I don’t remember any of my coaches as I grew up. They never poured into me. I coach because God called me to serve. It gives me Joy to serve the young people I come in contact with everyday.
