Kyle O'Dell Everything happens for a reason

Friday night I hardly slept at all, just thinking about our game Saturday night vs. Prattville. I must have visioned 1,000 different plays in my head. Saturday morning I arrived at the field house at 8 a.m. to eat breakfast with the team. We had biscuts and then went through a 30 minute walk-through. It wasn't hard to sense the vibe that everyone was anxious and ready to play. This is what we worked the past 2 and half months for. Then came the bad news. Coach Grass told us the game had been can… Continue

Kyle O'Dell An overall great day

Saturday was one of the most inspirational days of football I have ever been apart of. Every single kid that plays football in the city of Oxford got to scrimmage on the varsity field. 7 year olds started the day at about 1 o'clock and the varsity team finished the night of at around 9:30. It brought me right back to my pee-wee football days when I saw the kid with his knee pads in backwards, a massive crossbar facemasks, and neither shoe tied. Sometimes we might take football for granted. Every… Continue

Kyle O'Dell Another Day as a High School Football Player

Today was our last really physical practice of the week before our big scrimmage on Saturday night. You get the feeling our team is getting better as we practice more(which is what I was hoping for). We have a big challenge ahead of us in 2 weeks as we take on 2-time defending state champion Prattville, in our fall jamboree. Most teams might be anxious or possibly worried, but that's not the vibe I get from our team. It feels is though we are just taking it day-by-day. We know God controls our d… Continue

GS Waterloo Boys vs Covenant Christian

I checked out the Waterloo vs Covenant Christian game tonight.....first time watching both teams. Waterloo held on to a close one as they had a hard time knocking down free throws in crunch time. CC 's best shooter #22 couldnt get anything to go down and looked worn out at the end. Although Waterloo had a hard time at the line, Corey ???? hit some tough shots and their inside guy was effective early. Corey was impressive hitting some true "jumpers". Not sure how the game against Shoals Christian… Continue

Tim Russellville vs. Deshler Boys

I went to Russellville tonight to watch probably one of the most exciting and heated games ive seen all season. Russellville stayed undefeated even though the game went back and forth the whole way. Deshler did a good job of containing Corey Trapp but Winston and #14(sorry for not remembering your name) picked up the slack. Continue
