Will Collins

Hello Sports Fans

I traveled to Marion to watch the Marion Giants and my nephew Will Collins play tonight. I have a few runs by Will in this upcoming highlight footage, including a 95 run from scrimmage.

In my opinion Will should most of the times be the second back through, because he is too fast and the holes just don't open up quick enough for his speed. Marion has a bigger back that runs the ball really well, but I think he should be blocking more or at least do most of that inside running, to help open up holes and utilize the speed of Collins. I as his uncle is not the only one that notice that, numerous people mentioned it to me today, after the game.

Here see for yourself what I mean:

The other backs are good runners as well, but to utilize the speed of Collins, could only help Marion be more successful. I am just saying if the holes are not going to be opened up faster, it is a wasted play to run Collins up the middle, especially being the first man through. The hole is just not there yet.

The good thing is Will is only a Sophomore, so hopefully someone of importance will figure this out. Marion did win the game 36-15, The starting backfield, besides the QB, didn't play that much of the 4th quarter.

In other games Friday night Fishers bounced back with a win over Westfield 40-30. I will have to wait on my report from Team Coleman, to find out how well Ryan played tonight.

Pike lost to Southport 31-26, hopefully I can get a little feedback on that game from Mr Wilkerson.

Lawrence Central kept up their winning ways at a perfect 3-0, beat perry Meridian 42-6.

Warren Central beat Lawrence North 66-7. I hope I get a chance to see Warren play this year. They have a young man on their team that played basketball with us one summer. Big Dwayne Curtis Brown, he is a good young man, who has a very bright future ahead of him.

All comments are welcomed and encouraged!!!

Blessings and peace,

Week 3 High School Football

Hello Sports Fans

 If you have been following my Blog, you know there are 3 teams in particular that I have been following so far this year. Last week, and I welcome this, I had someone ask that I mention their team as well, so from here on out I will add Lawrence Central to my blog. 

I do know that Lawrence Central has had 2 very impressive wins the last 2 weeks, beating Lawrence North 70-0 and then turn around and beat North Central 38-3. Lawrence Central plays Perry Meridian at home this week and then they travel to Pike in week 4.

Pike coming off of a 24-0 lose to Ben Davis looks to bounce back as they travel to Southport this week.

Fishers also looking to bounce back from a disappointing lose to hometown rival HSE  28-21 last week Will battle against Westfield at home.

I will be traveling to Marion to watch my hometown Giants take on the New Castle Trojans in a North Central Conference matchup. I do plan to have some video highlights, so I am hoping my Giants and my Nephew play good and hard, so you all can see what that Giants football is all about.

Blessings and peace,

Soccer!!!

Hello Sports Fans

Okay it's a little late, but here it is. I mentioned earlier that my son Andre II, would be playing Soccer this year. After just one week of practice and for most of them an introduction to Soccer, Indiana Math and Science Academy played their first ever IHSAA Soccer game. They played Herron High School. I am certain Herron has practiced since summer and that most if not all of their players have played before. Needless to say they handed the Tigers their first lose of the season 6-0.

The Tigers played a lot better in the second half, but they still have a ways to go to understand the game. They were a little tired and very sore after the game, but I believe they all enjoyed it and that they look forward to getting better. They had at least 5 good shots at the goal. There is a silver lining to to the story, two of their more talented players did not get a chance to play, because of physicals, so beware of the Tigers!!!

I did have some video, but have not did any editing yet. I may get some up before their next game.

Blessings and peace,

Andre'

#57 Ryan Coleman

Hello Sports Fans

I have to admit I was a bit biased this week with my weekly highlights. I pretty much just concentrated on #57 during this game and my editing session.

In my opinion Ryan is one of the top defensive players at his position in the State. I challenge anyone to post here any player you feel is better or compares to my pick for All-State honors #57 Ryan Coleman.

Check him out:

 





The crowd at this game was crazy. It looked like a college game. This area used to have only one High School and was split into two. The parking lot was full by 6. I happened to pull up when someone was pulling out...Thank God!!!

Blessings and peace,

Andre'

 

Lost Lost Lost!!!

Hello Sports Fans

The 3 teams I am following so far this year all lost this week. Bummer!!! All 3 had impressive wins last week, but could not pull out the win this week.

I traveled up north to the HSE vs Fishers game. It was incredibly packed. I don't think I have ever seen a high school football stadium that full at 6:00...insane. The score was 28 - 21, but with about 3 mins left in the game the score was 21 - 7, so I started to leave, as I got to the HSE student body section. all the kids started running out of their seats to run on to the field. They blocked the exit, so I was stuck in one spot for the last 3 mins, but it seemed like an hour. I was there watching my cousin Ryan Coleman play for Fishers. I will have some highlights posted tomorrow.

My Marion Giants also lost this week, loosing to Mount Vernon (Fortville) 42 - 22. My brother reported that my nephew didn't carry the ball much this week, which is hard to believe, seeing that he scored 4 touchdowns last week. Will is a sprinter on the track team, but his coach has him playing fullback instead of tailback. I might not know as much as that coach, but I would want my fastest player on the team getting blocks from the bigger slower backs, I'm just saying. I will be traveling to Marion next week to get some video footage of Will and the rest of the Marion Giants as they take on NCC rival New Castle.

Last but not least my Pike Red Devils could not score against Ben Davis as they fell 24 - 0, to their cross town rival. I wasn't able to attend that game, but I am hoping I can get a friend of mine to post some highlights here periodically. Hear that DWilk :).

Well it's been real sports fans, I will get up those highlights, and then do my best to keep you all in the know in sports.

Blessings and peace,

High School Football Wk 2

Hello Sports Fans

Week 2 of the High School Football Season. With all three of my teams pulling off big wins and the players of interest all having good games. This week should be another fun filled and exciting 3 games.
This week I will be attending the Fishers vs HSE football game. This game is a rivalry game with both schools being pretty much in the same area. Actually my cousin attended HSE as a Sophomore, I am sure he is looking forward to this game.
Pike plays Ben Davis this week, my son will be at that game, so hopefully I can get a report from him.
Marion plays Mount Vernon (Fortville). My brother told me that this team beat Marion pretty bad last year, if that is so I am sure The Giants will be looking for some revenge.
My video highlights this week will be from the Fishers vs HSE game, so stay tuned.

Blessings and peace,

Big 3 Impressive

Hello Sports Fans,

My Big 3: Pike, Fishers, and The Marion Giants all had very impressive wins Friday night. Fishers shutout Noblesville 38 - 0. # 57 Ryan Coleman had 3 sacks 2 solo's 1 assist. That is just the beginning of what I believe will be an All State caliber season for Mr. Coleman.

The Marion Giants led by a very talented Sophomore named Will Collins, who by the way had 4 touchdowns and over 200 yards, beat Madison Grant 40 - 18. 

Pike vs North Central was the game I actually attended Friday night. I thought it was a pretty good game even though Pike won 23 - 6. Pike has a very talented group of young men on both sides of the ball. I was very impressed WR's Dominique Booth, and Tyrez Boyd. Booth also took snaps at QB, but Pike does have a very talented Junior QB in Brent Lyles. I believe RB Derrick Wilkerson is going to be a major key factor to Pike's success, because he is a quick and intelligent back that can score on you in a blink of an eye. The defense was on point as well. The only score of the game for North Central was, I believe a kick-off return, other than that Pike held them in check.

I do have video from the Pike - NC Game. Soon as I edit it I will post it.

It will be very interesting to see how these teams do in the coming weeks. I will keep you all posted!!!

Feel free to comment on your favorite high school teams and players, add stats, and scores. I welcome it all.



Blessings and peace,

High School Football

Hello Sports Fans

It is High School Football time. Tomorrow many Indiana High Schools will kickoff the regular season. I plan on going to the Pike vs North Central game tomorrow and bring back some commentary and highlights.

My thoughts will also be on 2 other games in particular. One has my nephew Will Collins, who plays for the Marion Giants, playing agains Madison Grant.

The second game on my mind will be that of my cousin Ryan Coleman # 57, who plays for the Fishers Tigers as they take on Noblesville.

I hope to have updates on both of their games as well as future action footage in weeks to come.

May the Lord keep each and every player safe this season.

Blessings and peace,

High School Football Season

Hello Sports Fans,

I saw some pre season picks of area high school football players to watch out for and that are being recruited by colleges. That's all well and good, and I am not hating, but I want to get everybody some write up. I would like for this blog to do just that. I will do what I can to search out information on our athletes, but I will welcome any input from any and everyone. I am really going to be pumping up all athletes I know personally and ones that I can help in any way.

My Nephew, Will Collins and my cousin Ryan Coleman are 2 of the players I will be mentioning on a regular basis. Pike is a team that I will also keep my eye on as well. I have a very good friend who has a son playing for Pike and there are a few players I know personally.

Here is the link to some of the area players being mentioned: http://www.usatodayhss.com/indianapolis/article/b-high-school-football-preview-b-top-area-recruits--2012208110336

USA Ladies Representing

Hello Sports Fans,

As I wait for the local football season to start. I can't help but notice how the US Women are dominating in their respective sports, like Basketball and Track and Field:

But as you all know that is not all: Soccer, Tennis, Gymnastics and Beach Volleyball were represented very well as was many other sports. The Olympics have been great to watch...The Ladies have done their thing!!!

Next week 8/17 I plan to attend Pike vs NC. Then 8/24 Fishers vs HSE. I will then Lord willing travel to my hometown of Marion Indiana to watch my Great Nephew and the Marion Giants take on New Castle.
Each week I will hopefully have video and give a commentary as well. I will be available in the following weeks to videotape for anyone looking to get game film of your athlete.

Soccer

Hello Sports Fans,

As my son begins his Senior year at Indiana Math and Science Academy, his main focus is Academics and like most competetive athletes he plans to continue playing Basketball his Senior year and beyond. His school is small and a bit under the radar. My goal is to help bring the school and Andre to a blinking spot on the radar.



To my delight Andre is opening up his athletic horizons, by playing Soccer for his school this year. This will look good on his athletic resume as well as getting him and some of his other teamates conditioned for Basketball season.

I as well as his mom will always want the best for him and as long as he keeps God first in his life and realize the Lord is where his strength comes from, the Lord will give him the desires of his heart.

Blessings and peace,

Andre'

Nice Job Gabby!!!

Hello Sports Fans,

I saw Lil Miss Gabby on the Uneven Bars this evening. I thought she did way better than the score they gave her. Of course I don't understand the judging but from what I saw, she looked good to me. She didn't fall off the bars and she seemed to have had a good landing on her dismount. Please comment to help me understand...

Blessings and peace,

Andre'
