Football Domination

The Tarheels are really showing some promise on the football field. In the morning session yesterday they beat Stanford 25-7. Stanford is no roll over - they've got their own weapons, but UNC gets better everyday. This team has a heck of a quarterback, they block, they can catch and they've got speed. As a bonus, their head coach happens to be a veteran camp counselor, sports camper, former Tiger fullback and is intense about football. They seem like they could be the team to beat come tournament week. We'll see how it plays out.

We managed to get the morning games played, but the rain moved in for the afternoon. Plan B went into full action. Inside "the cage" one basketball game was played, but over at the Barbee there was a lot of activity. Brown and UNC matched up on the hockey court, Texas and Texas AM played basketball and the rest of camp took part in Dodgeball.. Yes, Dodgeball - will REAL balls. The Barbee Center was Rockin'. The storm just kept hanging on so we had to bus the guys up the hill for dinner.

 It was still raining after dinner with rumblings of thunder, so PLAN C took over. What was plan C? Coach Alexander came up with this one on the fly... The teams that were scheduled to play basketball and hockey were bused to the Barbee to play their games, the remaining campers and counselors gathered in Slane Lecture hall for movie night. The main feature? RUDY... a classic. I couldn't believe the number of kids that hadn't seen this film. They loved it! It should be a staple in every one's collection. What an inspiring story. The boys were amazed that this film was based on a true story.

Today will be a game extravaganza. We'll be making up games during individual instruction and clinic time. I'll update the scores later today. For now you can check out the overall team standings. The weather is looking good. We should be able to get caught up.

Enjoy your day!
