Another Day of Two-a-Days in Chihuahua, Mexico


Tuesday, August 14, 2018

That's right, only . . .

. . . FOUR more days until
GAME DAY! 

Pictured is our outstanding OT Luis Rodarte from last Summer's Europe Warriors team that played the UNAM Pumas in Mexico City's Olympic Stadium.

Luis also coached the OL when our U19 Europe Warriors played at the University of Chapingo against Mexico's National U19 team last December.

I LOVE Luis Rodarte!

The hard work continues

In the UACH equipment room

The men who worked in here bent over backwards to help us all week.

I'm guessing that this was one of
the best teams in school history

You don't often see a locker like
this one in American public schools 

Spanish RB Eduard Palacin's
interesting cleats

Let's get to work!

Scrimmaging

Sue Valdivia is IN THE HOUSE!

She arrived today from her home in Mexico City.

Sue has been our outstanding team photographer at every one of our Europe Warriors experiences and makes our time in Mexico so much richer thanks to her amazing photos.

Great grab by Dane Arakawa

QB Doug Webster celebrating a
practice TD with WR Dane Arakawa

Practice should involve both hard work and fun.

It is a game after all.

Germany's Schwäbisch Hall Unicorns
are Europe's #1 team this year

Austrian Punter Florian Jobst
getting a rep

Polish DB Tobias Witalisz
was part of our U19 squad last year

He had a great game in December.

Offense vs. Air

Air didn't stand a chance.

 LB Herbert Gamboa

A returner from last Summer's Warriors, who is simply a winner. 

WR Dan Carroll from the UK

Another U19 player from our team last December who transitioned to the Senior squad. 

RB Javonte Hence
EXPLOSIVE!

Working with the paparazzi

after taking the previous photo

The morning practice was another good one with the offense looking much crisper.

Now it was time to roam the streets looking for some authentic Mexican cuisine. 

Mexican corn would not have
been a bad choice but "No Gracias"

Possible but we wanted tacos

Italian OT Francesco Borromeo
found a spot to his liking
but many of us continued
our quest for the perfect taco

Not here either

STREET TACO NIRVAHNA!!!

 Rico's was destined to be our go to
lunch spot

Fantastic Salsa Bar

We need a Rico's Tacos in Camarillo . . . NOW!

This barber shop uses Mike's
iconic beard logo to the max

Austrian DB Florian Jobst plays for
the Kirchdorf Wildcats

Love to see the Wildcats using Tom from the "Tom and Jerry" cartoons as their logo.

Even in Chihuahua, Mexico
you sometimes have to deal
with clowns

Sue getting ready for the
afternoon workout

Stadium panorama

Great cloud formations
every practice!

We are practicing on UACH's
home field you know

Practicing deep into the gloaming

DEFENSE!

Helmets Side A

Helmets Side B

Hand-to-hand combat

QB Erik Perez dropping back to throw

A career Warrior, Erik played for our Senior team last August and was our OC with the U19 team last December.

All about . . .

 . . . the sky

As we headed into the locker room,
the Águilas took the field to start
their practice

We were in this locker room

 More interviews

In the evening Sue started taking
portrait pictures of all the Warriors

Father-Son photo

If you want to watch the live
stream of the game, go here

We have a lot of good, unselfish players and a good group of coaches which make things so positive in every way.

I'm LOVING this team!
