I've had very little chance to watch our Blue team play in games this year, aside from Coach Lee's highlight clip on YouTube a couple of weeks ago.
Last night I began converting the Blue team's DVD (thanks Dave Brown!) from their second game, and am uploading it to our protected site today. It should finish out sometime this afternoon. Click the 2010 Videos link over on the right side of this page to see what we've shot and uploaded this season. The Blue team's game Saturday was against Paola, and I was able to convert all but Paola's last two plays - a halfback pass incompletion, and another halfback pass for a short completion and tackle by Zach O.
Let me give you my quick impresssion - what a difference one year makes!
We knew that the Blue team had some good talent from last year in players like Eddie and Grant, and we knew that we had some brand new kids like Tommy, Dante, Julian, & Jack M. that looked ready to help right away. We also blended in a couple of kids with two years experience in another program, Shawn and Jacob H, and they've been very consistent performers for a relatively inexperienced team.
But do you recall an e-mail I sent to many of you about how excited I was for the second-year guys, and the progress that I thought they might make? Watching film of Jake, Zach, Colby, and Jarid was a real treat for me. Those guys are absolutely breaking out this season for the Blue team. Michael B is another second year player - albeit this is his first year in the U.S. - and he has ramped way up from where he was this summer.
By moving to three teams, suddenly those guys that were very new last year now have very important roles, and are making key plays for a rapidly improving Blue team. Mix in the brand new tackle football guys - Dillon, Stewart, Halen, and Hunter - all of whom have big roles themselves and are producing, and the Blue team is really coming together.
I really enjoyed watching your game on film Ravens Blue. You were very impressive. All of us are really excited for you guys!

The Coaches and their obvious commitment to the players, and the sport are really making an impression on our team. The boys are really believing in themselves and playing more like a team every game. It is fun to watch the process. Ray Lacey
