Just completed season 20 coaching the Lamar 7 on 7 team.
Our efforts to extend our state tournament qualifying streak ended last Friday at
23 consecutive years. While we are all disappointed, it’s not devastating as
these kids and coaches literally gave it everything they had. We were a very
young team at key positions and it showed-at first. As the season progressed
this team grew a lot and missed qualifying by just 3 points. I just love this
group; winning has a lot of ingredients; hard work; talent; experience and love
for the game and each other. Some years the amounts vary and this year we were
a bit light on experience. But they had all of the other items in full.
As they transition to getting ready for fall football I don't think there is any question that all these "reps" this spring in 7 on 7 will help elevate the football team. The other key is that 7 on 7 gives this portion of the football team a chance to really bond for a few months. So, all in all, I consider this a very successful season.
I'd like to give a big thanks to First Rate, Inc.; DS Waters and Jay Ryan for their donation of money; supplies and time. We could not have the success without these cornerstone annual donors. THANK YOU!
Angie Morris has been our volunteer coordinator for the last two years. She has the energy of three people and makes sure we have everything we need as a team. Thanks to all those that volunteered under her leadership!
Our coaching staff is the best in Texas in this sport. Julian, Spencer and JR along with this years interns Jaden Morris and Amarlyon Fox are the backbone for the success of our program along with the full support of the Viking football staff led by Coach Skinner!
Great job players and coaches; see you this fall and you underclassmen in 2023!
Go
Vikes!🏈🏆
Coach Jim Poynter
