A Good Test...

After nearly a week of fall camp under our belt, we head down to face the University of Texas - Dallas tonight for our second test of the preseason. The boys are feeling pretty good and our legs, while still a little heavy, are recovering after the first week.

We did fact Ceder Valley on Thursday afternoon and after only a couple days of training, I felt very good with the result. Certainly we have a long way to go, but the boys showed very well in certain aspects. As we continue to make adjustments and learn the system of play, we will only get sharper. I'm sure we will see an even better team this evening.

Austin Newman has looked very good thus far in camp and I will continue to expect big things from him moving forward. In addition, Ryan Bielefeldt has made the move from up top to centerback fairly seamlessly and will be invaluable running the show from the back. Finally, Alex Dawson continues to impress and will lead the charge up top.

On another note, Newman, Bielefeldt, and John Martinez were elected captains the other night by their peers. Congrats to them.

Thanks for checking in and I still plan to get some training pics up early next week.
