Springfield, Missouri's Glendale Falcons
The school bus (not a charter) will depart from Glendale at 1:00pm. Don’t forget that SPS is dismissing classes three hours early tomorrow.
The booster club will pay for dinner on Friday and will provide fruit and bagels for breakfast. Sedalia Smith-Cotton High School normally provides lunch for players. We would suggest having money for 1-2 meals as a back-up.

Tomorrow afternoon the Falcons will travel down to Christian County to take on the Nixa Eagles. The JV match will begin at 4:30pm with the Varsity match to follow.
All players must ride the school bus tomorrow to Nixa. The bus will depart Glendale at 3:15pm.
The games will be played at the city park (called The Center) instead of the junior high.
Directions
Go south on Highway 160 (Campbell Avenue) to Nixa. Turn left on Highway 14, go past McDonald’s to Main Street and turn left at the light. Turn right at the stop sign (North Street) continue about another 1/4 mile past the junior high and The Center is on the left or north side of the street.

I’ve always loved the scene in Rocky II where Mickey makes Rocky chase a chicken to work on his speed.
Mickey: Now here’s what I want you to do – I want you to chase this little chicken.
Rocky Balboa: Hey yo, Mick, what do I got to chase a chicken for?
Mickey: First, because I said so. And second, is because chicken-chasing is how we used to train back in the old days. If you can catch this thing, you can catch greased lighting.
Rocky Balboa: Well, I’ll do it if you say so, but it ain’t very mature.
Mickey: Yeah, well NEITHER ARE YOU, very mature!
It turns out that Mickey’s “old school” approach may have some merit. This lengthy, but entertaining piece from ESPN Magazine, talks about why these kids from a small area in Florida are incredibly fast. The answer: bopping rabbits in Muck City.
Little Bunny Fru-Fru is now stuck in my head.
Coach Rogers is a Florida guy and we have the swamp (football practice field) out behind the school. With a little more water and some sugar cane we ought to be able to build a first class speed development program.
