Grace Academy Griffins Dismantle Hill County, 52-6
GEORGETOWN, Texas — The Grace Academy Griffins made it clear there would be no upset on the Hill County senior night, bulldozing Hill County 52-6 in a regular-season finale. Freshman running back Nathan Washington, filling in as the feature back with Elijah Heilig out due to injury, torched the state’s leading rusher and the Hill County defense for 183 yards and three touchdowns on just 14 carries — routinely bouncing runs outside and out-running pursuit angles for chunk gain

Promise late and deliver early
As the crisp November air chills the stands and the stadium lights pierce the twilight, our high school football team steps onto the playoff turf. In the words of the great philosopher Eminem "Palms are sweaty, knees weak, arms are heavy ... this opportunity comes once in a lifetime." But in the heat of competition, where hype can eclipse humility, there's a timeless principle that can turn underdogs into champions: Promise late and deliver early. This isn't some slick busin

Stats don't matter
Ditch the Stat Sheet: Why Six-Man Film Study Beats Numbers Every Time Hey coaches, parents, and six-man football fanatics—let's talk about something that's been grinding my gears in our leagues: the obsession with stats when scouting the opponent. You know the drill. Someone pulls up the season averages—yards per carry, passing efficiency, points per game—and suddenly that's the game plan. "Their QB throws for 250 a game; we gotta blitz heavy!" Wrong. In six-man, stats are a

De-Flagging Football Players
If you've ever watched a flag football kid step onto the tackle field and lunge at a ball carrier like they're swiping at a piñata, you know the struggle. That awkward reach for an invisible flag? It turns into a half-hearted arm tackle that leaves everyone frustrated and the play still alive. In six-man football, where the field's a vast expanse with just six players per side and no double-team safety nets, tackling isn't optional—it's the difference between a highlight-reel

Grace Academy Griffins Survive Shootout, Outlast Centex Tigers 64-34
GEORGETOWN, Texas — In a game that felt more like a track meet than six-man football, the Grace Academy Griffins leaned on Junior running back Elijah Heilig and a bend-but-don’t-break defense to pull away from a stubborn Centex Tigers squad, 64-34, on Thursday night.

A Time To Roar
The following prayer was sent to my children and former players following the death of Charlie Kirk. As a husband, father and coach my responsibility lies in helping others recognize the power of prayer and to see that Jesus is the only way to combat the devil. Have I been as bold as I could be for the Lord. Sadly, no. Evil takes hold when God fearing men lay down like sheep and refuse to roar like lions. My prayer is for the men of our country to rise up and lead the cha
