Speed is one thing, what separates Frankie from the rest is his gifted brain -- he has tremendous spatial intelligence Not sure if y'all saw this so I'll mention it again -- on the GEE in Geography -- which is reading routes and patterns and analyzing statistics -- Frankie Jackson got 100% -- th...

a philosophy is a belief -- it is what a coach wants to do in the ideal world -- maybe strategically is the better word for the situation not having someone who can kick a field goal is a reality -- if your attendance zone is in a part of town where the number of soccer kids who can turn in...

Does the memory of last night make him even MORE attractive as a recruit? It is a burst of harsh reality that leads to a much more mature player -- before that kid is playing on your dime......

Yes but when you do not have a true kicker and you have a running back who does pretty well on conversions it is your only choice. If I were the Capitol High coach, I would start scouring my attendance zone for kids who play soccer in order to create a true kicker/punter -- it seems to be the onl...

Evangel 21, Capitol 20 - Final -- what a game

Posted by CULionTiger on 12/4/09 at 10:01 pm

I wish I could have seen it -- snow and all! Does anyone know if it was televised in North Louisiana -- It was probably a better game than most Division III games this year! It appears the kicking game was the issue -- Capitol has their backup QB kicking -- Evangel no doubt has a specialist ...

Besides Deven Dixon, the defense is young -- Fred Wilson, Dorseay Bindon, Dalvin Mullens and Kedric Parker are all juniors who are just now growing into their potential -- they know that with Broadway signing early, this is their big opportunity to be seen because this game is a recruiter's dream --...

Excellent is relative -- Capitol High Academy is a Recovery school that has undergone a lot of changes with many teachers leaving mid-year, two school boards, a takeover and 4 principals in 3 years -- he hung in there well while a lot of students fell apart because they could not adapt -- The on...

Grades are excellent and he has his ACT scores -- academically qualified and WILL NOT be a problem for any school in that arena. He got all Basics on the GEE and 100% on the Geography section -- which involves analyzing maps and statistics -- kinda like reading a playbook!...

They are playing Evangel in Shreveport in the Semis -- snow is forecast. They are bringing at least 3 fan busses. This is the game that these guys have been preparing for since the moment they found out they had been dropped to 2A -- they know that the only way to TRULY establish themselves is...

He couldn't be tackled because of Left OT Corey White and Left Guard Albert Hill. Germany knew what he was doing... first he found his QB for Capitol, then he got the 300LB light on their feet insurance policy for Broadway's Blind Side....
