Again, it's been a few weeks since I last posted so let's do some more catching up.
On August 15th my Mother

Newbury Park H.S. Football
Although my original plan for the 2012 season was to just watch high school football, I was called into limited service with first Michael's J.V. team and then the Panthers' Varsity as well.
Michael's LBs Angle Tacklig

Practicing Run Fits
With Ted Smith
Ted was an excellent LB/OG for us in the 1970s when I coached at neighboring Thousand Oaks H.S.
His son is an excellent LB/H-back for Michael's team . . . small world.
The Coach Contreras Boys
Here Come the Panthers!
NPHS Breakaway TD!!!
The LOS
A Field Goal Attempt
In their first two games of the season, the JVs tied Buena before hammering cross town rival Thousand Oaks.
The Varsity squad beat Buena convincingly before losing by three points in overtime to Thousand Oaks.
My job is to be up in the booth trying to help communicate what I see to the coaches on the sideline.
Simple really.
